I’ve personally had some one walk up to me and threaten to “bring friends and guns and dynamite and blow this place up” if it was not shut down (a coal fired plant). He was a crack-pot and local police dealt with him.

But…..this stuff is real.

I’ve had to deal directly with State, and indirectly with federal environmental, OSHA and pressure vessel code inspectors. I’ve seen some real chickenshit. I could fill a couple of posts with stories of just plain stupid stuff they have required. Not something to make the environment cleaner or the work place safer, but to comply with their interpretation of the bureaucratic regulatory system they run.

There are, it occurs to me, some more recent and very powerful PR tools which can be deployed. GW and global carbon pollution and the billions trapped in subsistence living are allies, here. Anyone wishing to hyper-regulate or delay deployment of FF can readily be depicted as insensitive to those issues, or flat-out self-interested and attempting to keep their lucrative “buggy whip” monopolies afloat. We can play dirty, too! :coolmad: 😆 >:-(
