GREEN GONE WRONG

Environmental activists and their nonprofit eco-groups have become a menace to global economic prosperity and growth. Green groups are drowning us in a tsunami of eco-propaganda and green marketeering. Their chronic obstructions have reached a tipping point in the hysterics of global climate change. Environmentalists punish prosperity by exploiting government regulations, unsettled science, gullible media and your green guilt. Many eco-nonprofits are lawyers that write and lobby costly eco-laws such as cap and trade.

Environmentalists have stopped new nuclear power plants; reliable electric power with no greenhouse gases. Environmentalists have stopped safe, new domestic oil and natural gas exploration and production on our public lands, offshore and in the Alaskan tundra; US petroleum reserves are potentially the third largest in the world.

Stop the cap and trade taxes on our industries and power plants. Instead, tax the eco-nonprofits for emitting green propaganda to promote costly eco-laws, and for failing to provide any product or service that solves real environmental problems.
