I’m sure the problems are real, but we do ultimately have to make some kind of grand calculus about whether the net effect is worth it. I’m willing to take into account ideas to mitigate damage or find other even more remote, even lower utilization land, but doing it in the middle of the very sunny, very low (but of course non-zero) density of animal and plant life, and very low (but also non-zero) human population area seems pretty close to optimal.
