I can't believe this bill is going to make things even more complicated for us. It's just going to cause more problems for everyone involved. I don't see how this is going to help anyone in the long run. It's frustrating to see this kind of thing happening.

I don't really understand this new bill about hydropower relicensing. How will it affect me and my community? Who benefits from this bill?

Ugh, this bill is such a mess. It's gonna make it harder for me to access clean energy sources in my area. Who benefits from this nonsense anyway?
