It was the now anti-Russian Left that opposed fracking, off shore drilling, and natural gas exports, tools that will lessen Russian and Iranian leverage over Europe. Common sense and not leftist foolishness is evident in this decision.

"It was the now anti-Russian Left that opposed fracking, off shore drilling, and natural gas exports, tools that will lessen Russian and Iranian leverage over Europe" True, but it goes back much further than that, and has its roots in Soviet Union era nuclear weapons development. The USSR clandestinely funded the "anti-nuclear movement" opposing both the development of weaponry and peaceful nuclear energy by the USA. That "zeitgeist" survived the disintegration of the USSR and lives on today as the "green movement".
