Actually, the article implies that the reason is that the US is just too big. If we were smaller, like Tawain, there would be less regulation. Dumb. Just like this article.

The report seemingly ignored the delays caused by companies slow rolling and fighting with labor. I don't really think advocating for removing regulation is a particularly smart way to handle things. Seems like the exemptions Intel got for expansion are the right way to go about it. Also perhaps funding the EPA sufficiently so they can actually process things within the timeframe they're supposed to on a reliable basis.

I think the biggest problem is corruption and when the payoff settles then all permissions are given to build freely, there should be an organisation that follows the money and arrests those criminals.
