Abstract

The “not in my backyard” (NIMBY) syndrome prevails for many proposed projects, such as new landfills or new energy projects. Unfortunately, we need these new projects more than ever. Assuming that a proposed project has been designed to minimize actual risks, only perceived risks remain. But those perceived risks can still stymie a proposed project. A more rational approach to spending years fighting the maze of obstacles thrown in front of such projects would be to offer clear benefits to offset the perceived risks, right from the beginning, as part of the project design.
