However your experience with the NRDC is not like mine where those who favor strong climate change legislation also consider their support of major Democratic Party Corporate Pandering (Wasman-Markey or Kerry-Boxer) to also be a sell out. I see a pattern here. Even the NRDC web site asks you to take action and tell Congress to pass the Kerry - Boxer bill. You know the one will all the subsides for coal, and for nuclear. Just what are they defending? I ask. Massey Energy? <br /><br />Yes, they have done some good things, but in the final analysis, they always compromise more than they should.. just like they did to reach a California Water bill where the conservation requirements are unachievable and the ground water program is unmanageable and the people of the Delta got slapped in the face.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684763427526399228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497138.post-78689534588273257852009-11-11T15:43:46.578-08:002009-11-11T15:43:46.578-08:00this is probably the lamest analysis I've ever...this is probably the lamest analysis I've ever seen. You assume that the whole water policy and governance package is a terrible sellout instead of a major improvement over the status quo for fish and the environment. Any chance that you have your head in the sand and are just wrong about that? NRDC doesn't support these things lightly -- they've done more than just about anyone to fight against bad water policy. You'd better be John Muir or Jesus F. Christ to so flippantly accuse people like NRDC and Huffman of selling out. From what I see, they stepped up and did the right thing. True, Huffman voted for the bond - but he got Republicans to vote for the biggest ecosystem fix in CA history. Not a bad trade. And BTW, there was no "alternative" package offered by any of the opposing groups -- just the status quo. If you prefer that alternative, you really do have your head in the sand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
