The watermelon (green on the outside, red on the inside) agenda is to deny the owners of the US economy (private citizens) access to sources of abundant cheap energy of any type, oil, coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, you name it. Cheap energy is what makes America a powerhouse
It makes me angry to hear RATs talk about creating jobs when they can't help the people's economy, they can only screw it up.
