BAAJA is just massive deregulation of an environmentally unfriendly industry. Instead of eliminating the few safeguards communities have to protect their local environment and giving corporations the ability to circumvent public health concerns, we should move towards more sustainable energy and cease investing in fossil fuel infrastructure. All BAAJA does is transfer authority from local governments/communities to private developers and corporate interests.

And do we really think that giving corporations more power to make more money is somehow going to lessen the cost for consumers? Have you seen that play out that way in the past two years?
