Environmentalism has never been about trees. It’s never been about spotted owls, snail-darters, and calling swamps “wetlands”. Environmentalism has been about one thing and that is power.
Obama has drunk the Environmentlist Kool-Aid with more gusto than any major presidential candidate in history. And why not? Any industry that doesn’t do what you want can be run out of business using the environment as an excuse.
Biden signaled it this week with the statement that the Obama administration would bankrupt any new coal plants through environmental penalties and fees.
If that doesn’t frighten you, it should. Government should never have that kind of power, but in the name of “Change” and “Crisis” people will sign over their very lives if they are asked.
Environmentalism is an industry. Al Gore makes millions off of it and so do many others. I believe in clean water and air, but the Gaia Cult is nearing religion status. If you own an SUV, you’re a heretic of the movement. And you remember what happened to heretics in the middle ages, don’t you?
