Beware George Osborne, we ‘environmental Taliban’ are on the march - [Pie-throwing warmist Mark Lynas] - The Independent
The Taliban reference smears all of us who care about the future. It is also the opposite of reality. It is not those working to avert dangerous climate change who are the faith-based ideologues, but those who deny the overwhelming scientific evidence on global warming, who use smears and dishonest rhetoric in their desperate battle to defend fossil fuels and stymie the progress that this country is finally making towards cleaning up its energy supply.
...
Make no mistake: the Taliban coalition in favour of sustainable energy is broadening all the time. Under the guise of the CBI, whose director, John Cridland, is a strong backer of the greening agenda, it now includes probably the majority of British business. And it also includes much of the Government, not least the entire Department for Energy and Climate Change.

Osborne should watch out – the environmental Taliban are everywhere. We have the Chancellor surrounded and firmly on the defensive.
Good news: Interior Department creating their very own climate-change committee « Hot Air
Because none of the hydra-like heads of the Obama administration’s ever-growing bureaucracy can ever be really complete without it’s own personal council of green-energy-promotin’, climate-change-science-pushin’ environmentalist types, the Interior Department is all set to get their special board of eco-advisers to help them inform their decisions on future policy-making, whoop-de-doo...But hey, by all means, let’s just keep growing the government’s merry band of eco-crusaders and endow them with enough regulatory fiat that no mere commoner will be able to challenge their ostensibly conservation-minded ways. It’s all for the good of the planet, right?

Regarding the Clinton ThinkProgress article: It said

Clinton cited the Columbia and U.S. initiative called, “Connecting the Americas 2022 ,” which aims to link electrical grids from Canada to Chile and the Caribbean with the goal of creating a system of energy sharing among all regions of the Americas.

That sounds like the North American Union and beyond. And perhaps that is why they are pushing for energy efficiency in the US, so the US can sell some of it's power for South America.
