If you want to put in a oil/gas pipeline, you need one permission from the state, then you're a go.
BUT. If you want to install new power lines it's a whole different ball game.
First you need state level permission, then you need one from the cities you're passing through, then the counties, then the individual property owners and everyone who can see the high-voltage lines. The amount of NIMBYing in the permit process is staggering.
