It’s no different than progressives preferring Thursday over Wednesday because it’s “progress.”

The environmental impact study would take four years.
the last EIA i was on had a schedule of about 4 months. and it was over a larger impacted area that the hover dam.

Go ahead and remove OSHA, the EPA, and mandatory bidding for government contracts and you bet your arse we could.

Yes if we hired illegals to do it. Face it, they will work circles around today's Americans.

96
The "official" number of fatalities involved in building Hoover Dam is 96. These were men who died at the dam site (classified as "industrial fatalities") from such causes as drowning, blasting, falling rocks or slides, falls from the canyon walls, being struck by heavy equipment, truck accidents, etc
I'd say things are for the better, not worse. Its possible we could build it today and not lose a single life.
If there were 96 deaths, I wonder how many injuries happened?

Bet the actual structure wasn’t that big

Probably in two years grandpa. Design and building methods have come a long way since then.

You are full of shite like most progs.
Your tree huggers would hold it up in court for 10 ten years. Silly progs.
