In the latest sign, of many, that The One ain’t The One on environmentalism (Vote Green, you numbnuts!) the Obama Administration says it will continue to allow mountaintop removal coal mining.
And, while it claims it will regulate such mining more tightly than did the Bush Administration, it can’t even guarantee such regulations will actually reduce the number of mountaintop coal mines.
And, while Earthjustice say it cannot support Obama in this, it will support him in 2012 rather than the Green candidate. Count on it. Ditto for the rest of Gang Green and affiliates.
Proof of that last point? A hand-wringing, “oh, why won’t Obama do more,” post on Kos, the enemy and lifeblood-sucker of anything truly progressive, by Bruce Nilles and Mary Anne Hitt, director and deputy director, respectively, of the Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign.
Thank doorknobs and real environmentalism, that I long ago cancelled my Sierra Club membership so as not to pay the salaries of people like that.
