This is largely an issue of jurisdiction size. The tire burning plant doesn't have a large enough protest radius to reach the scale size necessary to swing an election of the body approving it. I have seen a garbage incinerator killed by neighborhood protests, the fools sited it too close to a neighborhood of people rich enough to make contributions to statewide campaigns.
