you would be correct sir/ma'am except......
we are a nation of laws that are created by legislative bodies whom have a disproportionate concern for the needs of the wealthy instead of the needs of the people. This is caused by the systems of lobbying and campaign finance that serve to legalize what amounts to bribery. Groups like Stop Titan try to even the playing field by compelling concerned citizens to pool their resources for a common cause, to try and influence the "laws" so easily bought and paid for by those with accumulated wealth (whom also care most about preserving said wealth). Stop Titan is only doing what they feel is right.
Not every group of activists are right but I do believe Stop Titan has a point, the jobs Titan will bring don't seem to offset the impact. I feel Titan is banking on our desperation for jobs to overrule our love for our environment. I think we need jobs but not at the cost of our most precious resources.
