I heard the SAT evaluation today was brutal.
They said they didn't have time to look at the socio-economic impact and went purely by bio-pseudo science data. Not surprisingly, since they set up the grading system (remember persistent kelp?), the score was skewed in favor of Group 1 and Group 3.
What happened to "stake-holder driven, science-based" initiative. They ignored half of it (the stakeholder-driven part--read: overwhelming public support for Group 2) and focused on the part of the game they set up to control.
If I can set up the rule of the game, I can win nearly 100% of most games played. It's that simple.
This is a setup for tomorrow's BRTF meeting. Expect ugliness tomorrow in the way the BRTF comes up with the Preferred Alternative Map.
That's why we need everyone.
