In green architecture news, word has just come out that Facebook has commissioned Bilbao-famed starchitect Frank Gehry to design a greenextension to the Facebook Menlo Park campus - complete with a massive, walkable green roof!
This cutting of red tape has delighted business - and doubtless those wanting a roof extension, too - but green groups and civic groups fear that the new system has handed power to a quango from politicians and people.
Scottish Green party MSP Patrick Harvie used the debate to criciticse the extension accusing the infrastructure and capital investment secretary of a "transgression" in opening it.
The voters decisively rejected Mr Hayden's green agenda, which included killing such job-generating projects as Dreamwork's new studio and an extension of Los Angeles International Airport.
