Raghu,
I didn't suggest that NRDC doesn't support worthy objectives re the
environment. But NRDC places itself at the service of corporations
in political disputes the corporations are having with other NGOs,
including environmental and consumer groups.

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?
