If the “liberal” green movement had the political power during earlier periods of our nation’s history that it has now, we would not have built the railroads. Also, there would be no interstate highway system, and our electric grid system that powers our country would be disconnected and shattered.

What else can one conclude when a significant and vital energy pipeline, the 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline from West Virginia into the southern states, has been canceled because of environmental activist opposition? Another pipeline, the Dakota Access pipeline, has been suspended by a federal judge’s order in recent days. Even the urgently needed Keystone XL pipeline, which will transport natural gas and oil from energy-rich areas north in Canada and the Dakotas down to Houston for export and delivery across the country, faces a court-ordered injunction. These actions are all said to be in the name of wetlands preservation, Endangered Species Act issues, and other environmental protections.
