Isn't it all a matter of education?
If you're so concerned by the power of those environmentalists, why don't educators get more money and are better motivated to teach about their own planet, its environment, the energy we need , how much of it we need?
It's all a matter of education.
Therefore, send more people to universities getting a higher education and a better understanding of our planet.
After all , don't "nutcases" need a job and a good life on Earth too, or are their arguments worth listening to and that's what frightens you?
Who's sawing the branch on which he sits? Is it the one we think or the other one?
