Bananaism

Bananaism is taking being a NIMBY to an extreme. It stands for "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything."
The problem now, as one wind-power executive puts it, is BANANAism: "Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything." The anti-wind brigade, fierce though it is, pales beside the opposition to liquid natural gas terminals, and would fade entirely beside the mass movement that will oppose a new nuclear power plant.
