it was engineers being cowed by their companies idiotic leadership instead of saying hey maybe it's crazy to put the grid at risk to avoid shooting minor emissions into the air in the middle of the damn desert where nobody lives. it's part of the entire soviet like environment we've created where the government controls all the resources and people are desperate to survive so they do what the politicians say.  > companies do what do you let them get away with. i agree. the question remains, when companies break multiple laws every day and nothing is done, how are more laws going to help? personally i've given up on any fixes to anything. like the ussr we are simply going to have to collapse under the weight of our own corruption. trump is already indicating he won't fix shit, he won't touch cms which is where the entirety of our budget problem lies so the bond markets are going to do it for us and it's going to be ugly. oh well
