3. Enviromental laws applied unevenly, to prevent sustainable solutions.

In other cases, for mainstream unsustainable projects, we seem to look the other way.

Wind power, solar, high speed rail often face environmental hurdles that seem, to me, to be way overblown compared to other schemes that don't face the same scrutiny.

Hell, imagine if they were retroactive- we'd have to do away with Fresno altogether and most parts of Bakersfield!
