Exactly. Bigger hypocrites you can’t find. Just look at the mess left by the “environmentally-concerned” pipeline protesters!
Indeed.
These “environmentalists” could convince me that they are truly concerned about the environment if they would engage in basic problem-solving methodology when it comes to environmental issues: gather pertinent information, examine and define the problem, brainstorm possible solutions, and choose the solution most likely to address the defined problem.
Instead, we get sky-is-falling pronouncements all the time without any facts to back them up.
I think that piping oil is probably more environmentally friendly than shipping it (ships leak and sink while trains and trucks crash and spill, causing environmental disasters every year). But environmentalists never discuss the pros and cons of each method; they just howl.
