A Sanity in Mad City post courtesy of the Dummocrats Daily Page covers a difference of opinion between “environmentalists” groups. The point of contention is whether a Chicago corporation should be allowed to build a large scale “wind farm” in close proximity to one of North America’s largest migratory bird stops. Wisconsin’s Horicon Marsh is the largest freshwater cattail wetland area in the United States. If you are “Green” inclined, then alternative energy sources like wind power generated electricity should be good, however, a number of people are convinced that current windmill designs are bird killers and bat destroyers.
This little tiff in the greenhouse is an excellent reminder that there are many subgroups in the environmentalist universe, with various priorities based on their individual cherished values. Sea Green and Forest Green factions tend to support each other in principle but each group has their priority cause to fight. Spring Greens, Lawn Greens, Emerald, Olive and Jade Greens all have their own little niches in ecology world. The Lime Greens, those predatory fruity fringe moonbats, are actually old fashioned Red Socialists in disguise.
How old is Horicon Marsh? The way a person answers that question can be a good clue as to what type of green values they hold. The answer can be found in the Horicon Marsh Environmental History. The story begins about 400 human generations in the past as the glaciers melted away on a warming planet. Environmental “activists” who believe that problems are local and can be corrected with limited local solutions are often worthy of our support and encouragement. Those activists who believe the problems on the planet result from global pathologies requiring universal changes in human behavior are the ones that constitute the very real “Green” danger to our free society.
