The Sierra Club ~ Beneath the Green Cloak

“The Environmental Defense Fund, ProPublica, and the Sierra Club are suddenly voicing opposition to the expansion of natural gas use….. You might call this the theorem of environmental duplicity: namely, there is no form of "clean" or "alternative" energy that environmentalists won't decide to oppose if it becomes practical and affordable on a large scale.”
Environmentalists, who have supported natural gas as a "bridge fuel" to kill coal, are starting to turn against gas now that it looks more abundant. Regulators want to regulate it; state legislators want to tax it more. And politicians are eager to "help" the market decide how best to use this newfound bounty,

In the past the Sierra club was one of the biggest supporters of natural gas. But now they have changed their tune. They have been pushing for stricter regulations and even called for a statewide ban on most gas drilling. Why the change?

With the improvements in the Hydro Fracking technology natural gas is now cheaper and practical for base load generation. This makes natural gas a viable alternative to alternative energy.

Wind power is an intermittent source of power it is dependant on wind to produce power. Wind farms that produce only a fraction of the energy of a conventional power plant require 100 times the acreage. For instance: Two of the biggest wind "farms" in Europe have 159 turbines and cover thousands of acres; but together they take a year to produce less than four days' output from a single 2,000 MW (million watt) conventional power station - which uses one percent as much space. In other words this makes natural gas a threat to the unstable scam based wind industry.

The bird kills and loss of habitat, caused by industrial wind development may threaten some bird and bat species to the point of extinction
Wind farms must be located where the wind blows fairly constantly these areas are often migratory bird flyways , for many protected species like Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles.

Ireland a world pioneer in wind energy ,the Emerald Isle used to be home to 10 bat species, now there are nine. Brandt's bat, a species not identified by science until 1970 and not seen in Ireland since 2003, has been declared probably extinct in that country by researchers. The reports are that this may be due to habitat loss ~ deforestation from industrial development.

The Sierra club has an agenda and it is not protecting wildlife.

They say one thing and do another ~ The Sierra Club called wind towers "the Cuisinarts of the air." and they asked their members for support to save The Endangered Species Act. At the same time they were lobbying on the side of the American Wind Energy Association to defeat legislation that would protect endangered birds and bats. Even though thousands of birds, bats, eagles and other endangered species die every year from deadly collisions with wind turbines. According to the Sierra Club's website: "The Endangered Species Act is one of America's most effective tools for safeguarding our fish and wildlife heritage."


In 2006 the Sierra club founded the BlueGreen Alliance a consortium of 10 major U.S. labor unions and four of America’s most influential environmental organizations with 14 million members pushing their green agenda in pursuit of what they call good jobs , a clean environment and a green economy .

“This campaign is about putting Americans back to work with good jobs that will also help solve our energy and environmental challenges,” said Carl Pope, Chairman of the Sierra Club and a co-founder of the BlueGreen Alliance. “Whether investing in renewable energy and efficiency, smart transportation choices, or protecting the rights of workers, we are standing together to make the U.S. number one in the clean energy economy of the future.” The wind industry cannot survive without massive subsidies tax incentives and corruption to keep it afloat.

One of the Sierra clubs partners behind the green cloak ~ is the San Francisco based Apollo Alliance is a very powerful coalition, comprised of radical environmental groups, organized labor unions such as the SEIU, the AFL- CIO ,UAW, and the United Steel workers, the IBEW, and the LIUA partnered with “Social Justice” groups like ACORN and its myriad of underlings… (This is the single largest radical group in America, with more than 400,000 dues-paying member families, and more than 1,200 chapters in 110 U.S. cities.)

This network is an incestuous , tangle of interwoven organizations and political activist groups, coming together to reshape our American values and ideals. Under the guise of promoting a clean energy economy.
