Get Over the 'NIMBY" Attitude When It Comes to Our Need For More Fuel and Energy

A primary challenge for us in business here in California and the US is high gas and fuel prices.

HERE IS AN IDEA TO IMPROVE THINGS FOR BUSINESS AND REAL ESTATE.

Jonathan Lanser at the Orange County Register says that people need to temper their "NIMBY" (not in my back yard) attitudes. We agree.

Our need for plentiful and cheaper fuel and energy is clear. However, many folks object to it being produced in their home towns and back yards.

Industry here in the U.S. can build clean, efficient plants that produce and transport fuel and energy. It's OK to have them near your town or home neighborhood.

It's good that some people want to protect the environment while adding energy infrastructure.

Compromises must be made. We need power plants, more nuclear power, oil refineries, oil wells, transmission and transportation hubs.

Let's help make things better for business, our economy and real estate, and improve quality of life for people along the way. We agree with Jonathan Lansner.
