While I'd hardly consider myself in the 'green camp', to be fair, the courts ruled that the environmental impact analysis was inadequate so one can hardly fault the lady for bringing government incompetence into the limelight.

Had the government done the analysis adequately, the lady would have had no case. But the government messed up and now they have to bear the consequences.
