You can see it very clearly in an ultra Blue, Demo-Commie state like NY where the most rabid and fanatical True Believers rule "our environment."

They shut down Indian Point nuclear power plant way ahead of time and NY city and downstate immediately lost 25% of their electric power.

Thanks to government bureaucracies, zoning boards, planning boards, NGOs like Nature Conservancy, Environmental Advocates et al. you can't even put up a small shed on your property without going through a hundred hoops. It takes YEARS to do anything by the book in this state.

NY state claims to "own" and have jurisdiction over our lakes so boat owners have to deal with the state DEC besides the town when it comes to rules and regulations that are often contradictory.

NY also passed its own, much worse version of the Green New Deal in 2019 when they passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act which will destroy this state in record time once it's fully implemented.

Our only hope is some sort of Divine Intervention whereby these huge, evil behemoths simply collapse from their own weight.

To paraphrase Homer Simpson’s wise words about beer: “To government, the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.”
