My daughter is an enviro-whacko lawyer in Portland who takes on these types of cases and prevails. She can tie it up in courts for decades.

Last one she did was some sort of saving of the cormorant birds on the Columbia the US Fish & Game was going to kill off with snipers. She's good at what she does.

I’ve been on the wrong end of that side of lawyering. It’s killing us. We were going to build a massive beverage manufacturing plant in the Seattle area and rail product as far east a Chicago and as far south as Mid Texas. The idea was to bottle product where the water was and send it to the places that don’t have water.

Got stopped by the enviro-wacko lawyers about five years ago. Look at CA right now. There’s a plant in Victorville, CA (essentially, the desert) that is using 650,000 gallons/day putting Dr. Pepper in bottles.

Oh, and rail uses less gas and puts less CO2 in the air than trucks do.

Didn’t matter. All that mattered was killing business. There’s a term for those type lawyers:

Watermelons - green on the outside, red (as in communist) on the inside.
