“What you described is not at all surprising.”
I guess I was still wet-behind-the-ears in my 40s. I honestly expected the execs to stand up against them and begin telling customers how important the industry is, how it provides untold benefits to people, and what would happen if we lost it. But nary a squeak was ever heard. Crickets. It was appalling. All these highly-paid industry hotshots couldn’t muster any defense of the power industry. And the greeniacs were never sated. As soon as you gave them an inch, they were back for a mile. Nothing could satisfy them short of the destruction of the industry.
They will find out in the next decade or two how short sighted their “activism” was. Of course, by then, few will be alive who remember how the USA was when everything worked.
It's an amazing fundamental transformation!
Had you not shared your experiences, I wouldn’t have expected that level of indifference. But in doing so, I’m now in the know, but also not surprised given what we’ve collectively learned especially over the last 8 years.
You’re absolutely correct about the Left’s unrelenting desire for control where no concession is ever enough.
