Green Gone Wrong 2.0

Environmental activists and their nonprofit eco-groups (the ecologista) have become a menace to global economic prosperity and growth - an "axis of antagonism." 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. Some eco-nonprofits (including animal rights groups) are lawyers that write and lobby costly eco-laws, award grants to green-biased researchers, and sue government and industry for excessive regulations and monetary judgments with "citizen" standing. Environmentalists identify themselves as progressives, representing new ideas and advanced political and social policies. Environmentalists must now take responsibility for global shortages in the human essentials of food and energy that inflate the worldwide cost of living, and reveal the punitive policies of environmentalism as regressive and even oppressive, not progressive. Environmentalists begin with seemingly good intentions, but are never held accountable for their bad, unintended impacts under critical criteria of economics, national security and scientific rigor.

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. Environmentalists have stopped new petroleum refineries in the US -refined fuels production capacities are little changed in 30 years. Environmentalists have stopped public forest land management and roads that would allow containment of destructive and polluting wildfires. Environmentalists have stopped new border security control facilities. Environmentalists have stopped new public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, pipelines, transport hubs, power plants and power transmission facilities. Environmentalists have even stopped the research and commercialization of genetically-enhanced crop seeds that require less polluting fertilizer, less water, less land and less time to grow the food grains essential for the human diet worldwide.

The US leads the world as the most efficient economy in gross domestic product (GDP) output per unit of energy consumed. The thirty-years accumulation of environmental regulations have
