Cali specifically and the EPA/BLM in general have passed hyperregularion to prevent exactly that from happening to protect environmental damage to the biotic diversity, AKA flora and Fauna.

all of which is now dead and ash.

They do it to control the public and jack up costs which return to the DNC/pols in the form of higher taxes/permits and bribery/kickbacks to get projects done.
