provide more stringent standards for fracking of natural gas in parts of the eastern United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The collaboration, which also includes several philanthropies, has been formalized with a non-profit organization\u00a0called<\/a> the Center for Sustainable Shale Development. Grist<\/em> took note<\/a> of the alliance, referring to it as “oxymoronically named.” The initiative has been\u00a0scorned<\/a>\u00a0by dozens of grassroots environmental groups and prompted\u00a0Salon<\/em> to recently\u00a0ask<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Oddly, that headline is divorced from the article’s otherwise measured take on fracking. Still, I think it’s safe to assume that any time a green group joins with industry to tackle a big problem, many environmentalists are going to cast a leery eye.<\/p>\n

From Grist<\/em>, here’s news<\/a> of a similar new effort:<\/p>\n

Wind industry and enviros team up to study bird deaths<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://ramedicare.com/bundle-packs/ Interestingly, I couldn’t detect any sarcasm in this piece<\/a>, unlike the one reporting<\/a> on the shale gas\/enviro alliance. \u00a0Is it because Grist<\/em> doesn’t view the wind industry as villainous and untrustworthy as the oil & gas industry? Does the wind turbine industry get special dispensation from the environmental community because wind energy has the official green stamp of approval?<\/p>\n

https://andiroberts.com/leadership-questions/ Mind you, I’m not trying to whack the wind industry, whose most vocal opponents\u00a0have latched on to junk science and fear mongering<\/a>\u00a0to advance their agenda. (Of course, many anti-fracking campaigners, it should be noted, are no less hysterical and loose with the truth<\/a>\u00a0to advance their own cause.) I’m just wondering if it’s okay for greens to team up with one kind of industry but not another?<\/p>\n
