People who say those kind of things sounds very noble -- until of course they get to the part where they want to use the violence and coercion of the State to forcibly impose their values on everyone around them.
I'm not willing to "go green" -- I won't buy a hybrid or electric car, or even change the kind of light bulbs that I use. When living my life I just don't give a darn what environmentalists will find acceptable. Of course, I don't dump oil in the ground or water, don't throw trash in the street, or dump old tires in the woods, etc. I drive a 4-cylinder Saab that is reasonably efficient and clean, but I'm not going to go out of my way to drive it in a "green" manner.
Having watched the ebb and flow of environmental alarmism and extremism for the last 40 years it is painfully obvious that what it's really all about is taking money from and imposing power over others. (To make sense of anything, particularly in politics, you have to follow the money trail.)
