I don’t know why they have public comment periods because even if 99.9% of the public are against it the government will do it anyway and if they don’t some environazi group will sue them and a fed judge will give them what they want. Twenty years from now they will find out that the butterflies actually preferred some plant that grows between trees but only after the butterflies are gone.
The crazy thing is that the butterflies are there, duh, they obviously like the forest as it is.
Because these bullies still need the veneer of the cover of law, for now.
