Those of us who remember the construction of the Alaska pipeline in the 70s witnesses the same chorus. Now, it is far from controversial.
Start suing these groups. Force them to use their vast wealth to defend their position in friendly courts throughout north America.
Reagan bankrupted the Soviets by foring them to spend money. As the left has shown us inn Alaska, forcing Palin to spend her own money to defend against bogus lawsuits works.
Once the very weath find their money is being thrown into a pit and being spent on something useful, they will back down. But it takes strength and courage to go after them.
