The one thing I respect about the eco-socialists is that they are upfront about their beliefs as demonstrated in this Wisconsin Green Party News Release.
GREENS CALL NEW OIL DRILLING A GLOBAL WARMING RISK, URGE CONGRESSMEMBERS TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO THWART ANWR AND ALL NEW DRILLING.You have to admire their absolutism in wanting to prohibit “all new drilling” while simultaneously acknowledging that “the approach of a peak in oil production” threatens the “world economy”. This is logically consistent if the goal is first and foremost to abolish the existing oil economy and the wealth it has created.
Green Party members noted that new drilling not only threatened local lands and wildlife in Alaska, but also risked accelerating the advance of catastrophic global climate change.
"At a time when we're facing global warming and the approach of a peak in oil production, both of which threaten security and the world economy, it is extremely shortsighted and dangerous to expand drilling operations," said Greg Gerritt, secretary of the Green Party of the United States. "The White House and both Democrats and Republicans in Congress are in the thrall of corporate energy lobbies, and their deference to corporate profits is endangering the entire planet."
