"If we're going to reverse the trends that are happening right now with coastal development, water pollution, overexploitation of fishing and climate change, we need a lot more tools than we have now"

The trends that are happening to the American people, their overexploitation, destruction of liberty, incredible injustices, etc., due to the enormous wealth, power, and oppressiveness of "environmentalist" organizations and the government officials who support them are far worse than anything that is happening to the environment.

To give these people and these organizations "more tools" than they have now is madness.

The last thing the American people need is to give "environmentalists" more wealth and power!

This is just like the environmentalists buying Ahmansons Ranch with state money.
