Talk to environmentalists. None of the projects you mention they would consider “green” at all. They HATE oil (Cheney, Halliburton, ANWR, etc.). They HATE nukes (or maybe you didn’t live through the 70s and 80s when the same crowd held marches against nuclear power plants). They don’t want new refineries or domestic oil and oppose it at every opportunity.

The greens are into solar power, wind power, hybrid cars, mass transit (for the masses, not themselves), bicycling to and from work (for the masses, not themselves) and essentially opposing the industrial revolution (i.e. capitalism) on the premise that it causes too much pollution and the pollution is irreversible.

That’s their message. It hasn’t really changed in 40 years, only the latest scare tactic has changed - which is what Global Warming is.

By proving to be such a hypocritical buffoon, Gore is showing the GW fad is a fraud. If the zealots were truly serious about the problem, they wouldn’t be jet-setting around the globe and burning precious energy. They would be living quietly in huts eating twigs and berries.

I would never expect the 'greens' to support anything that burns hydrocarbons or even nuclear power although when threatened with new coal plants they back off on that some. They supported wind power until it became big business. They supported biofuels until they became big business. I suspect they will not be in favor of solar much longer either as that is becoming big business also.
