I think this story is interesting because it strips naked the pretense that the big enviro group -- in this case NRDC and ED -- are anything more than corporate fronts.
NRDC and ED cut the legs out from local Texas environmental groups
-- something they have a long history of doing successfully elsewhere in the country -- and then did media work to portray this as an environmental triumph.
Eugene, This is interesting. From Google it appears that the NRDC has impeccable environmental credentials, support for clean air, water, GMO studies, lawsuits against Chevron etc. No hint anywhere of inappropriate corporate affiliations. But they do seem to participate in "cosmetic environmentalism" like last weekend's Green Oscars. Can you provide any pointers for the NRDC's history of hijacking the green movement? -raghu.
