Save the Earth! At All Costs?

Yes, this is the battle cry of the environmentalist movement. Now they are starting to make headway in many leftist run countries, and among them not-so-Great (anymore) Britain.

This from the Telegraph: Britain facing blackouts for first time since 1970s. I predict that unless they change course the estimates will be low.

I am all for innovation and new technology, but it just will not come to pass at the insistence and prodding of government. Almost nothing that any environmentalist ever suggests is ever beneficial to society, and these groups should largely be ignored by rational thinking human beings (liberals and eukaryotic organisms are obviously exempted but for different reasons).

Make sure that you keep your priorities in order when you espouse a cause. Too many people get sucked into something that has some meaning and value on the outside, only to become irrational and sometimes fanatical as they slide down the slippery slope. Stand on principle and never compromise, then when you support something you can be assured that you are supporting something of merit and value.
