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.
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.
Just what MAKES WALKER ROCK!!
Not to worry douche bags, we get a decent conservative in office and we can begin to rebuild America and save our nation and people from 8 years of destruction of Obama
This type of hysteria and dementia once qualified people to be committed to an asylum.
Today, they are just liberal activists on the border between Salon Contributor and conducting a mass killing.

This is just a tiny example of how unhinged the left is over the possibility that Scott Walker will run and be elected President.
FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
No bias there, no sir-eeeee!................
Ping me when the kid writes a scare-story on Jeb Bush or any GOPe candidate. That they fear Walker simply cinches my vote for him.
I wonder if the author’s mom knows he’s on the internet again.
