Oof. Infrastructure regs are out of my lane but I will say that in my personal experience, the most challenging stakeholders to work with are PG&E and railroads. Both have crucial infrastructure in vulnerable places and are strongly, strongly resistant to change.

Let's do multiple purpose forest thinning: Reduce fuel for fires, protect watersheds, sequester carbon, reduce high carbon building materials, create jobs.

We can use forest thinnings for high tech wood products to build 10-20 story buildings in lieu of steel and cement for jobs, water, less fuel while putting the carbon from the forests into houses.
