You're summing up most of the stuff rural americans get upset about. Rural americans have insanely high pollution rates per capita because most of their lifestyle is really resource intensive, which just doesn't scale. Not everyone can drive a ford f850 superduty deisel to go get groceries. Not everyone can eat beef 3x/day. Not everyone can live on a few acres. Not everyone can hunt. Not everyone can have livestock. Not everyone can have 5 kids. Etc, etc. A lot of rural americans just don't understand this, or don't care. To them it's "out of sight, out of mind". Then, once it comes to their back yard they lose their minds reacting to it because it finally affects them. When it happens to other people, those people can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. When it happens to them, then it's a national emergency. I grew up in a rural area, hometown of 500 people. I grew up thinking this way. It's a pretty big mind shift.
