May 2014

we have some other issues here at play. And one of them is... climate change is happening, but I do not want any effect on my personal life, and damn it will do all to prevent that change. And this is to the point of lawsuits.

I will leave it at that. People who will be directly affected (industrial back country green energy development) have to change their approach to how to mitigate the effects, or have utilities pay good quid for their lands. They are coming, they have really bad effects on local residents, how do we mitigate it? The fight right now is to keep them out. That ain't gonna happen.

And I will add, that goes for urban residents too, we all need to change how we do a lot of stuff, and start pressuring for public transportation
