“Predatory industrialist reap all the profits, pass any costs down to consumers and convince people that environmental protection and their well being are at odds. And we haven’t done enough to talk about the environment from the left. That needs to change.”

They’re selling lies and making a fortune.

The really gnawing thing, to me, is thinking of how many times we “lefties” and “tree-huggers” have been fought, lied about, lied to, denounced, laughed at, insulted, and thwarted at every turn.
