I agree with a lot of what you say. BUT... the problem is that by your logic/standards, there are no jobs we should turn down, no matter what the impact on our environment. Because else the rich will just take the jobs elsewhere, where the labor is cheaper and they can pollute at will.
I don't accept that. Obviously, there's a balance, but environmental concerns are very real. We can't sell those out for short-term gain.
There is nothing short term about the systematic destruction of our middle class. The super rich in both political parties have been working on knocking them down to 3rd. world status for more than 3 decades now. As far as turning jobs down, how long has it been since you spent any significant time in one of the hundreds of cities that have literally been destroyed by sending jobs to cheap labor countries? With an unemployment rate of 10% (that is really more like 15% but hundreds of thousands have simply quit looking), which jobs would you turn down that would pull our people out of poverty? Personally, I can't think of any legitimate job that should be shuffled off some place else just to make the fat cats in Brooklyn richer.
If the EPA gets all they want, I will probably be arrested for flatulence.
Believe it or not, a segment of the wacko contingent actually tried to blame "global" warming on cow crap. I happen to believe a lot more of it takes place because of political hot air.
I'm for clean air as much as anybody but the state really needs this project. It will bring billions into our economy, not just from the plants directly, but from all the other businesses that will grow and prosper throughout the entire region. This is one of the greatest opportunities our state has seen in many, many years. Hopefully everything goes forward.

I totally agree
