I’m not much of a sports guy, but I think the term might be scoring an “own goal.”
Jim Warren writes about the environmentalists reaping what they’ve sown: how the anti-development approval processes demanded by environmentalists are now blocking green energy projects
BANANA for the win!
It’s a ‘Global Warming’ thing.
Since everything in the current media blames this soul source.
Even Dr David Suzuki’s daughter has issues doing fishing for a therapy…they still are using gadgets that they blame on environmental problems…go figure…
I respect Brian’s article but it didn’t apply to a recent Ammonia plant in Nova Scotia that got a permit to build in 50 days. I don’t have a link but I trust the source. An “Ammonia” plant. What could possibly go wrong?
I learned a new acronym from the linked article; BANANA.
BANANA (Build Absolutely Nothing Absolutely Nowhere Anytime)
When you destroy everything, what have you got?
NUTS – Not under the sky!
The Hoover Dam couldn’t be built today.
The Oakland A’s are moving to Vegas too. It seems the Communists running the city of Oakland simply put up too many “environmental” obstacles to the A’s. The stadium would add automobile traffic, displace too many homeless, take over too many “black-owned businesses”. This all despite the proposed stadium would have been the GREENEST stadium in all of professional sports with a 13 acre park surrounding and actually part of the stadium.

There will be no such “green” stadium in Vegas. There will be no concern for homeless, blacks, or drug addicts. There are no Communists operating the levers of power. My only question as a lifelong Oakland A’s fan … since they moved to the Bay Area in 1968 … is “what took you so long”.
You live in California. Out-migration of the working and middle classes has been going on for decades. California becomes more financially weak with each passing day. So how much longer will it be before the State collapses completely? And what do you think that will look like?
And still we continue to construct wind farms, thereby ensuring the eventual extinction of large raptors.
Remember: the world’s largest environmental disasters are all the result of government policy.
Not always. Exxon Valdez and Torrey Canyon were major disasters which had nothing to do with government. Love Canal was a toxic waste dump that had nothing to do with government policy, only the slipshod way that Occidental ran its business. The Cuyahoga river fire in 1969 had nothing to do with government policy, only the unrestrained treatment of a river by industry as a sewage dump in the complete absence of any regulation. There are many others. Do you really want to continue playing this silly game?
And through all the afore mention disasters….strict government regulation and oversight was completely absent. We stock pile a bunch of stiffs to man these “NECESSARY” government regulatory departments who’s biggest concerns is their retirement dates. They run around pestering business’ and individuals into compliance, for regulations that serve no one but government themselves. When a cataclysmic event occurs….they are an impediment to resolution not an asset.
You could lop the staffing level by 50% tomorrow and the average citizen would not notice.
Explain to the world how that would have avoided the disasters to which I referred.
Large raptors? To quote Joe Biden’s sentiment, “Save the planet, kill the whales.” All the whales gotta die too.
But Joe promises to use ALL parts of the whales he kills for wind power … just like the indigenous tribes used ALL parts of the Bison. Oh. Wait. Nevermind. The carcasses are left to rot on the beaches.
1930’s Germany, you know who…used burdensome government regulations to kill free market enterprise which all socialists, national or otherwise hate.
Not to mention their ever increasing government bureaucracy paid for with borrowed money.
