The "environmental" movement remains packed with idiots, incompetents, phonies and the terminally ignorant--
Utopians are so funny.
Environmentalism is a political movement, anti-capitalist, and bent on destroying all forms of private ownership. or at best turning over control of private property to the government.
If enviros were only seeking a cleaner environment, they would be promoting nuclear power. Instead, they attack nuclear power knowing that by preventing a solution to their proclaimed ills, they will always have this political power. Until the community of property owners, land, business, stocks, etc, recognize the greenies for their real threat, these nitpicking attacks on the private sector will continue.
