We are hitting a pivot point for US environmentalism.

We can either use the regulatory process to get what we want and control industry, or we can resign ourselves to being noisy clowns on the sidelines.

I am THIS close from walking away entirely from the left's hysterical interpretation of environmental activism. We are destructive, anti-advancement, anti-technology and totally at risk of losing all credibility.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
