Energy Producers Must Target Radical Environmentalists, Not Each Other

[WestVirginiaRebel]

PJ Media:

Banding together to oppose powerful enemies is never easy or without risk. But there is strength in numbers, and the alternative -- being picked off one by one -- is far worse. Think of the Founders' wisdom: in July 1776, Benjamin Franklin told the delegates discussing whether they dared sign the Declaration of Independence:

 

We must all hang together or most assuredly we will all hang separately.

 

Today, America’s primary energy suppliers -- coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, and hydro -- must band together to fight environmental extremists. They need to recognize the activists intend to destroy each and every one of them.

 

Consider the Sierra Club, which boasts of being “the nation's largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization -- with more than two million members and supporters.” Their "Energy Resources Policy" includes the below list, titled "Resources Opposed by the Sierra Club":

 

Coal-fired power plants

Coal-bed methane

Oil shale

Oil sands

New offshore oil drilling

Synthetic natural gas

New natural gas electricity generation

Hydraulic fracking

Nuclear power plants

New large hydroelectric plants

 

In other words, they oppose the suppliers of almost all of the world's energy.
