I don’t get how you look at this and not come to that conclusion lol. 9 thousand years of environmental impact studies for something touted as both widely popular and eco friendly is literally self destructive. Utah is risking environmental factors for capital investment and long term tax revenue. Risky investment; could be good could be bad. California can simply just cut SOME red tape to succeed, not even all of it. But they don’t and won’t

i and a majority of people see it as california taking the proper amount of time and dedication to make sure they arent irreparably fucking up the environment with large scale and natural resource taxing projects. what you say may be true but it misses the point of the original comparison and the bigger evil which is the rampant destruction caused by data centers with no regulation.

This is like when everyone freaks out about people wanting to cut regulations. Things are over regulated and disrupt progress. California has wasted BILLIONS on something that hasn’t happened. Cutting regulations does not mean no regulation. If no doctor performed any surgery until there was 0 risk, no operations would get done

Well also it’s because of the fact that unlike in China where they can take your land to build stuff like trains in California they have to actually buy it at a “fair market rate” which gets obviously argued in court
