On Earth Day, wishing for a Republican environmentalist | Opinion Blog | dallasnews.com
There is no reason for the Republican Party to stake out a Luddite position on the environment. Yet, so often you see prominent Republicans do exactly that.

Surprisingly, seven of the groups — Center for Biological Diversity, EarthJustice, Environmental Defense Fund, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council — say nary a word about Earth Day.
