The Spectacle Blog
Politico reported yesterday that “it’s not easy being green anymore” and whined, “It’s no secret environmentalists are outgunned when it comes to cash,” as though they are hopelessly losing every political battle. I partially (I say “partially” because there is so much more that can and has been written) debunk that myth over at the National Legal & Policy Center blog today.

Big Green - that would be Remington Arms Company. Just sayin'.

I will believe that "Big Green" has been muted when the following things occur:
1. We get back real, non-poisonous functioning light bulbs.
2. We get 1.80 gas prices because we are drilling for and tapping oil in our own back yard using our own vast recerves.
3. We have reasonably inexpensive electric bills because our abundant coal resources are going to fuel our efficient and decently clean coal fired generators, AND we are building new nuclear facilities in every state of the union.
and most especially...
When I can banish the "plumber's helper" back to the basement where it was stored in the old days and I could actually flush a toilet the first time.

Big green outmoneyes? Like hell it is. Every taxpayer in the nation supports big green wether they want to or not. How many hundreds of billions of subsidies and handouts has big green gotten over the decades? How many stupid regulations are made to stuff the pockets of big corn and GE? Politico ain't got no sense no how...

When the subsidies end for GE, Solyandra (and other Solar Panel Companies), GM (to produce expensive putt putt cars), and the stupid ethanol program, then I'll believe it.
Then there is their scare tactics: Dirty Coal, Dirty Water due to Fracking, and on and on.
Why do we subsidize Brazil & Mexico to drill, but shut down U.S. drilling?
