Environmentalists Fighting Environmentalists

It makes me smile.

San Diego, California is one of those parts of the world where the watermelons and NIMBYs would never allow construction of a power plant of any sort. Transmission lines for power to the area are at very near full capacity, and the population is growing.

So build a new transmission line, right? How hard was that? I mean, you can put wind farms, solar farms, and dams where they will [deleted] up somebody else's view of the ocean, and you get the electricity through the new wire! WIN!

Except that you have to get approval from the forest service before you can build the transmission line. And they're worried about bambi's reaction to the construction.

FAIL. haha.
