Since I know a bit about environmental issues in particular, let me just say rhetorically – David Hayes ramrodding Interior/EPA transition?
Well, we now know that Obama’s environmentalism will be bland centrism of the Clinton-Gore type, rather than REAL environmentalism. The Progressive Policy Institute is a DLC shop. The Environmental Law Institute counts mega-clearcutter Weyerhauser among its clients, as well as Gang Green members NRDC, EDF, WWF, Sierra, and Defenders of Wildlife.
Other big corporate clients of ELI are Chevron, AT&T, Lockheed Martin, GE and IBM. In other words, ELI teaches Fortune 500 folks how to “get by” on environmentalism at the edges of the law.
Beyond that, then, it networks companies like this to Gang Green enviros, for the possibility of exchanging greenwash for corporate contributions.
WWF is, of course, Gang Green, and American Rivers is kind of Gang Green lite.
Calling Jeff St. Clair for what he’ll be writing!
