No, that doctrinaire, paranoid, leftover from the Cold War
circle-the-wagons blindly partisan shortsightedness, inflated by large
infusions of well engineered propaganda bankrolled by big money-making
machines pretending to be underdogs persecuted by some shadowy
all-powerful environmentalist cartel with evil intentions, will
unfortunately usually overrule questions of pure research and best
estimates of most-likely scenarios.
