The trouble is, anyone trying to build anything gets this shit. The NEPA process is beyond busted. It’s even used to make it harder to build solar and wind farms. The problem is that there are too many veto points. It’s easy to add new ones, very hard to remove them. There is no attempt at an ROI justification at any step, so “value of one person’s enjoyment of plovers” is held alongside millions of dollars of wages paid into a community. I don’t want to bulldoze the wilderness, I know about the burning rivers, EPA is good on net, but I think we need to chop the worst 10% of planning/environmental regulations.
