And, every time, the objections drive up costs and delay results.
1) It's hard to avoid the suspicion that ever more of those people are only performatively "caring" about environmental impacts; and
2) I'm getting ever more certain that quite a lot of those people who "are caring" lack enough information to care about environmental impact in a sensible way. If you're ill-informed enough, you will naively advocate "solutions" that are worse for the environment than what you're protesting against.
But lets put that aside and let me ask you this:
What amount of delay would you be ok with in addressing environmental concerns?
Sometimes, we do not want to keep costs and delays down.
