Again, I believe growth in Oregon would be a good thing. Open it up to some semi-conductor folks...
Actually, we should open it up to the people, letting them, rather than a bunch of radical environmentalists, decide what is good growth.
I'm sure that if Intel wanted to open a factory in Oregon, even the environmentalists would allow it. The problem is, they would coercise Intel to buy up a large section of land donating it to various land trusts in order to get their approval. Now, if Joe Blow wants to build a house on his land, he would be unable to bribe the environmentalists like the major corporations can.
