We already had a road. And so the question becomes, is that really helping the environment? If I can't rebuild this road and it takes me a decade, I'd say no, I'm not opposed to environmental rules and regulations. But again, it can't take a decade. It can't take 15 years. Donald Trump says, listen, give me an answer. He's a bull in a china shop in many ways, where if he agrees with the idea, he'll do all he can to clear the way to make sure these things get done.
