In Japan, NIMBYism is responded to with local grants and benefits.  For example, some of the nuclear power plants have adjacent public swimming pools, heated with steam from the reactor next door.

They're very popular.

As to the cars under your window, I promise, I'd never do that to you, PeakGuy!

I thought the effort to put LNG terminal permitting under FERC rather than the local communities was a step in the right direction (ie anti-NIMBY).  The final law looks like a step in the right direction but I'm fuzzy as to the real effects.  Here in California, the Long Beach terminal looks a lot worst than the Channel platform proposal.  We'll probably need both.

unless the nimby-motivated locals produce valuable resources themselves, such as the wild salmon that would not be brought into our small harbor if an LNG plant were sited here
