Now that environmental groups have taken your (and their fat perennial donor foundations’) money to operate a global fear-mongering campaign about the horrors of global warming, these arrogant eco-groups are lobbying for costly government controls of greenhouse gases. Green groups can spend some $1.5 billion annually lobbying for government regulation of carbon and for the fantasy of Obama’s “new green economy.”
Green groups are initially for lavish government programs with alternative and.jpg)
renewable energies (non-nuclear), electricity grid upgrades, conservation measures and other “smart” stuff. But cynically, they will then work at local levels to impede or stop actual construction projects in the virtuous guise of prudent environmental stewardship. Green groups routinely operate partisan propaganda campaigns to suck you and government into spending money to solve theoretical environmental problems. They then insert themselves as a “stakeholder” to broker project approvals -- attracting free media publicity, naive donor sympathy, government grants and court cost awards as ”citizen” litigants.

· In October 2009, a coalition of eco-groups including the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council and others sent letters to U.S. senators advising them to “reject any provisions” to promote nuclear power expansion in the pending Kerry-Boxer cap-and-trade bill. Nuclear power expansion would lessen U.S. dependency on foreign oil with zero carbon footprint;
· The “Green Path North” is a new 80-mile long power line proposed by the DWP to bring eastern California desert renewable solar and wind power to urban grids and users. Last month, due to failed negotiations with several coalitions of local and national environmental groups, the DWP looks to abandon the Green Path North project. Just the planning and environmental reviews have cost the DWP millions of dollars.
