Micron has a hundred billion dollar mega fab in New York and there's a lawsuit by
00:00:05
six one two three four five six six concerned citizens. That's shameful. They spent 612 days on the environmental
00:00:12
impact study. >> Yeah, I don't know why anyone bothers with the blue states anymore. They make
00:00:16
it too hard to build. This is not a case of this new fab being unpopular. The majority of people in the area actually
00:00:24
want this plant being built. They want the jobs that are going to come there. But six people can stop it with a
00:00:30
lawsuit after it's already been through a two-year environmental review. >> It's not blue and red states. These are
00:00:35
nonprofits that get organized to create this kind of chaos. I remember looking at a massive lithium investment in
00:00:43
Nevada. And the whole point was to domesticate lithium production. And what was interesting is this enormous deposit
00:00:49
that's just sitting there ripe for development right before they were about to get environmental approvals or right
00:00:54
after there was a lawsuit by people who wanted to protect the upper land grouse.
00:00:59
It's seared in my mind that the upper land grouse of Nevada is the reason why
00:01:03
we do not have domestic national security around lithium. And it's possible because you have these
00:01:09
environmental nonprofits that can go and create this chaos with absolutely no risk to them. And it should not be the
00:01:15
case that six people can slow down a hundred billion dollar investment package.
