"The letter was revealing for its honesty.Not so long ago enviros endorsed natural gas as a cleaner alternative to coal or oil.
Most limited themselves to calling for "better" industry practices, or to solely opposing exports.
But as the gas rush has grown, threatening their solar-and-windmill nirvana, greens now openly decry drilling, chiding Mr. Obama for his "support for hydraulic fracturing" and calling on him to keep "our nation's fossil fuel reserves in the ground."
The letter was signed by Bill McKibben, the director of the anti-Keystone outfit 350.org, as well as directors of nearly every major green shop in the country—the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, CREDO and Earthjustice."
