> and NIMBYs are quick to oppose them

I have a solution: higher energy prices for those opposing NIMBYs and cheaper for YIMBYs .

So many issues in politics would be solved if the voters of certain policies were the only ones affected by them instead of writing cheques everyone else has to cash.

In Denmark, wind mills were initially quite popular, because locals owned them and benefited. The iconic wind farm Middelgrunden on the waters outside of Copenhagen is 50% owned by a co-op.
