There’s a strong argument to be made that overall health impacts will be lower if wildfires are reduced through prescribed burns rather than waiting for catastrophic ‘natural’ fires. I think this argument could be used. We can either plan ahead when to have some wildfire smoke and put resources in place to deal with it. Or we can try to react to large blazes.
Fast effective reaction to mega blazes will be key. That they are pretty much talking about the same thing they have been for decades is depressing.
CEQA doesnt work that way as I understand. We need to repeal it.
This is like saying: Safari doesn’t support AV1 as I understand. We need to delete it.
Isn’t the obvious thing here to make a patch so it supports the thing we want?
CEQA fundamentally has a status quo bias because of how you do the analysis. Avoided damage from what would happen anyway is not considered.
