Yep. A case in point was San Jose when the new Cisco plant went in.
Sure it caused brownouts, but when it came time for a new power
plant, the Cisco people in city planning argued that a power plant in
their backyard would ruin the view for the workers at the factory.

As a result of that and the Enron shenanigans, electricity rates in
Oregon went through the roof. And, by the way, haven't come down
since.

Nevada keeps talking about burying the entire world's nuclear waste
in the Nevada test site where nothing lives and nobody goes, but
California NIMBYs don't want a nuke railroad running through their
state. -c
