I have a sneaking suspicion you wouldn't like it if they put a coal burning plant or coal mining operation in your backyard. I mean you talk a big game but when the rubber hits the road all this stuff is OK provided it's not in your community.

The potential growth of brownfield sites is not a good thing....there are already 500,000 in the US.

However, the worst damage I think this ridiculousness does is the continuation of this war on science and knowledge. Most utility companies will still be switching to cleaner energy. They have set their road maps and won't be changing because of an administration that is proving to be rogue compared to the rest of the world.
