@sudoraohacker@Noahpinion In urban areas the nimby problem is housing. In rural areas it’s energy generation. It’s a big problem in every corner of America.
@sudoraohacker@Noahpinion I have seen anti solar, wind and pipeline signs all in the same yard. It’s like they think electricity is made out of thin air. What’s sad is a lot of these small towns are losing or have lost a significant tax base and utility scale solar or dc instantly fixes the budget deficit
@sudoraohacker@Noahpinion NIMBYs push back on local electricity all the time. Many cities, townships and counties are creating moratoriums on new wind and solar development.
@WSJ I was very sad to see Professor Leamer passed away. He was one of my favorite professors at UCLA. I really enjoyed his class and his presentations for the Anderson forecast. Thanks for publishing his obituary.
@rao_hacker_one I completely agree with you on NIMBYism. It’s persistent everywhere and a big problem in urban areas with housing and rural areas with new energy development including wind and solar.
Farmland prices and institutional interest in farmland has been very strong.
