Environmental activists have called for this change for years
...with obviously very little thought given to the high cost of the venture, much less who will be paying the cost.
A Pox on Environmental activists and their evil desire to be seen as saviors and gods when the Living God has assured us that our environment was created, controlled, and sufficient to support and bless his children for as long as this world shall stand.
