Is it a big deal from a permit perspective (or perhaps you need to get consent from all the ground owners) to lay a cable from point A to point B in the US assuming you have a cable and a company that can lay one?

I am just looking at society and wondering what the fuck they want. If they want to "save the environment", just fucking bulldoze everything that's in the way. If the fucking Mount Rushmore National Memorial is in the way, just cut it out and move it 10 miles away, but I just don't get why we care so much about the "rights of people" as long as you don't do them monetary damage. Just don't allow lawsuits, but properly compensate people for them being annoyed with excavators (if even relevant, since modern techniques don't even use those).

If they don't want to save the environment, then it would be faster to just launch all the nukes right away.
