Seems to me the problem will be amplified by the courts.

‘Environmentalists’ use legal maneuvering to kill just about any project they can use to raise obscene amounts of money. In a lot of ways, the green movement is as much about money as the corporations they claim to be against. The monies raised/budgets for these organizations is huge.

It is not about money for them as much as it is about dogma. They are in no way different than the various other whacko groups.

The fact is that Greenpeace is actually right on a number of issues - but that quickly gets buried under a sea of crazy and ignorance that is no less daunting than the fundies. In fact these are fundies, but of a different flavor.

Unfortunately, they are not reasoned enough to understand how to prioritize or that many of their maneuvers only guarantee that the disasters they want to avert are more likely to happen.

These folks are just as unscientific and stupid as the fundies and it is a pity, because they are not the great champions of the environment that they need to be. We need policy based on science and people in responsibility need to lead for once and do the sane and proper course of action on these issues.

That means, no whining, you are going to see more nuclear wind and solar. You are going to see laws that encourage you to recycle. YOu are going to see a smart grid and yes your tax dollars will pay for some of it.

As a reward, you get, America still intact in the 22nd century, millions of new American jobs and a booming economy.
