Everyone seems to give truth a spin these days- I can't stand it.
The difference between the oil companies and the environmentalists is that the oil companies generate wealth- a product that fuels our standard of living, jobs, investment income and taxes (was it 40% last year?); environmentalists don't generate anything but alarmism. It doesn't mean that there isn't a place for people who watch out for the environment, it's just annoying that every environmental concern is considered a top priority "crisis."
I reject the notion that big business is evil- businesses, in general, are opportunistic. Those who can gain by supporting the green movement will take advantage of it, while those are hindered by it will cut jobs, raise prices and basically lower the standard of living. I guess I'd like to be certain before we make changes that will be very difficult to have reconsidered.
