A. Most of it isn't opposed to the project, just the specific route, you know NIMBY. http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080204/NEWS/802040317
It's a cheap shot because the issues are much more complex, and because those who throw those words around would be the first to NIMBY if they were impacted.
Gov. Spitzer is the one who throws around the NOPE word (http://www.bcnys.org/whatsnew/2000/0925energy.htm). Gov. Spitzer has told our area that the NYRI project won't be built. But I suspect he's known about the NYRI project much longer than any of us who will actually be impacted by it. http://www.nysun.com/article/67421
