Scott Walker Is the Worst Candidate for the Environment
"Scott Walker is killing it with Republicans. The Wisconsin governor is one of his party's rising stars—thanks to his ongoing and largely successful war against his state's labor unions, a fight that culminated Monday with the signing of a controversial "right-to-work" bill.
Now (for the moment, anyway), he's a leading contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. At the Conservative Political Action Conference a couple weeks ago, he polled a close second to three-time winner Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), beating the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by a significant margin.
It probably won't surprise you to learn that none of the prospective GOP presidential candidates are exactly champions of the environment. Probably the least bad is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who at least acknowledges that climate change is real and caused by human activity. Walker just might be the worst. He hasn't said much about the science of global warming. (In the video above, you can watch him tell a little kid that his solution to the problem will center on keeping campsites clean, or something.) But his track record of actively undermining pro-environment programs and policies while supporting the fossil fuel industry is arguably lengthier and more substantive than that of his likely rivals.
"He really has gone after every single piece of environmental protection: Land, air, water—he's left no stone unturned," said Kerry Schumann, executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters. "It's hard to imagine anyone has done worse."
Here's a rundown of Walker's inglorious history of anti-environmentalism............."

If the hypocrite environazis hate Walker, I love him.
“Green” energy can only meet about 10 - 15% of the demand.
Using only that is like having a power outage every month that lasts over 3 weeks.
That’s the world these freaks want us to live in.
Geez, the “hole” erf may self immolate.
Seeing the photo of the author, lowers the impact of the words.
This is a Salon professional contributor?
Some of us need to blog more.
“The potential for a doubling down on natural gas production at the time we most need to be moving in new directions.”
We most needed a new direction in the late 1960’s and early 70’s. Pollution was pretty bad then. Today our air and water are FAR cleaner.
This imbecile is proof that Cornell, for all it’s reputation, still admits uninformed nitwits.
Salon doesn’t deserve space on this website. That pencil neck doesn’t deserve hits on his article.
I have to question if “Salon” is a real site or not?? It sounds more and more everyday like a bunch of 12 yr old punks fresh out of the Public School System with their Self Esteem Awareness Degree in hand,smokin crack and jacking off while wondering aloud why they can’t get a date.
LOL!
Let me guess... he doesn’t have a girlfriend.
Does that squat to pee???
2019 ???
Try February 2017 if Scott Walker is pres.
Isn’t Ithaca supposed to be “The City of Evil”? Saw it somewhere....
“lib Jew”
What would his religion have to do with anything?
If he writes for Salon he has boyfriends. $5 says he’s the catcher.
If he does, it’s likely an anime girlfriend that excites him.
