This is extra-disappointing because Oregon has previously successfully gotten Facebook to cooperate when planning its large infrastructure projects. The Prineville facility was designed with local environmental and labor concerns in mind, but this coastal venture looks disastrous.

I don't understand what the actual issue is. The chance of environmental damage seems very low. And probably less than if they put heavy machines onto the beach and coastal zone.
