Nothing but a thorn in the side of Fidel Castro.
It was a way station for Haitian immigrants for awhile. Then came the terrorists.

Transforming that facility will probably require demolishing the structures on the island and constructing just about everything anew. When it was last used in 1962, there was no Federal Environmental Protection law in force; that law was implemented in 1971. It requires an EIS on any public project of that magnitude. If they were dumping waste into the Bay during its operational history, they would either have to construct sewage treatment facilities on the island or an under-the-Bay pipeline to connect to one of the nearby jurisdictions. To get permits for construction, you have to file an EIS, and in California, many activist groups are well practiced in blocking or delaying power generation facilities and other infrastructure projects for decades by suing over the adequacy/inadequacy of the EIS. This would face the same fate, which would never be completed in his presidency or the first (or second) term of JD Vance. Is that clear enough?
