Stossel shows how the EPA has been caught colluding with environmental activists. And vice versa.One can love nature but still hate the tyranny the green movement imposes.
SHUTTING DOWN PROGRESS: America is blessed with abundant resources but cursed with boneheaded regulators. Now the EPA has been caught colluding with environmental activists to shut down a mine in Alaska. The Green Tyrants say the mine might hurt fish, but the fish are 90 miles away. Stossel asked Bob Deans of the Natural Resources Defense Council, “are any mines okay?” He didn’t name one that the NRDC would approve.
Green Tyrants opposed to the Keystone pipeline say it will never be finished. Even if President Obama finally approves it, they say, “we will tie it up in court, and get in the way of construction crews.” It makes Stossel wonder why anyone would try to build anything big today. “NIMBY” used to be the chant (Not In My BackYard!). Now it’s “BANANA” (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anybody).
