I'm not having a go at Chris directly here but he repeats a common theme. I'm 
getting a bit sick and tired of assorted flavours of self interested political 
ideologies ascribing black motives to environmentalists and attempting to 
traduce them by hoodwinking the views of the too gullible public. I won't deny 
that within the broad spectrum of people that would describe themselves as 
environmentalists are a minority those with peculiar motivations, as there 
probably is in any defined group, but to take isolated pieces of ambiguous 
evidence and extrapolate from the exceptions to suggest that those are the rule 
is just deceitful.


There are real and obvious reasons why true environmentalists would be 
concerned if everyone got access to vast amounts of energy because of what they 
might do with it. Simplistic views that energy=good, more energy=better, most 
energy=best are a bit one dimensional in outlook.
