That for me...isn't the issue. I know what has happened in the past....and Gobment subsidized to private companies to anyone...is a MISTAKE.
I may not live long enough...but these are boondoggles. And I know it....
They come in...and say they will provide jobs...Oh, the locals might get a job clearing weeds,, and rocks...but in the end...maybe 2 jobs will be created long term..and likely it ain't a local person. I've seen it over and over again.....Not to mention the BS...the Fed's give a pass to...killing birds and bats.
If it was a natgas leak...and a mouse was killed. That company would be fined hundreds of thousands of $$$....
How freaking FAIR is that?
I don’t agree with the FedGov subsidized jobs aspect of this, but we were talking about view right of way, so I addressed that point.
I don’t agree with giving a sign off on the Eagle deaths either. Eagles aren’t the only birds being killed off by each unit. It’s disgusting what takes place in one of those windmill farms.
Your description of temp jobs and long term jobs sound about right. And if all else was okay, I wouldn’t object. There are some real problems here though, and you did touch on them.
The loopholes for these companies vs other companies are unacceptable.
BTW: I believe there are some precedents too.
I’m not sure I’d want to prevail in that manner though.
We may not like infringements, but infringements are a nasty reality of life.
Thanks for the discussion.
