This story has generated more coverage of The Heartland Institute than we can remember in a long while. Below are some of our favorite quotes in the media about our organization.
Environmentalists, by and large, live in a world of their own. A very smug, ill-thought-out world in which driving your electric car, wearing your hemp clothes, staring daggers at people who don't put their soda bottles in the recycling bin, and perhaps even accepting subsidies from the federal government to put solar panels on your roof, are somehow the recipe for a sustainable and prosperous national future. They are blithely negligent of the facts: their cellphones/computers/electric cars are powered by coal, the promise of solar and wind is relatively pathetic, the accepted wisdom of recycling is founded on myth, global warming is increasingly dubious and politicized, that Obama's green "investments" are helping to push the country toward bankruptcy... I could go on. We have the opportunity to create innumberable jobs and help dredge ourselves out of this economic slump, if we'd only let ourselves actually compete in the global energy market, and when energy prices are high, poorer Americans are the first to suffer.
