In the states a lot of left-coded "environmental review" stuff gets used by NIMBYs to block grid improvements / new transmission lines.. which ends up being a bigger blocker of renewables than the permits for the generation itself.

So you end up with multi-year backlogs just to get grid connected with new clean energy generation.

Right, everybody wants the change, but nobody wants it to affect them. As is tradition.
