Not all tea partiers are anti-environmental

At least not when it's their ox that's being gored, in the case of personal property. Texans resisting the proposed transcontinental pipeline for tar sands oil from Canada might provide an example of how to better "sell" environmentalism to more people.

That said, in reality? The mindset of the great majority of tea partiers will lead them to continue to have a NIMBY stance on environmental issues. If the issue is out of sight, then it's out of mind.
