It is obvious to me that humans are apart from nature, and must rule over nature. We do not want to rape nature, or pollute it or use up all its resources. A reasonable environmental movement is acceptable but it must be conducted voluntarily in the private and civil sectors of society, not driven by big government mandates and social engineering.
The revolutionary, Communist thrust under the New Green Deal to nationalize the energy industry and take over all of society is the kind of environmental terrorism and totalitarian take over of society that we cannot stomach.
Capitalism, freedom, Westernism, fossil fuels and human technology have all greatly benefited humanity. As Levin writes on Page 139 of Liberty and Tyranny, the many benefits of Human Culture/Science/Technology must not be allowed to be wiped out by the Enviro-Statist conspiracy: "For the Conservative, scientific and technological advances, especially since the Industrial Revolution, have hugely benefited mankind. Running water and indoor plumbing enable fresh water to be brought into the home and dirty water to be removed through a system of aqueducts, wells, dams, and sewage treatment facilities; irrigating and fertilizing land creates more stable and plentiful food supplies; harnessing natural resources such as coal, oil and gas makes possible the delivery of power to homes, hospitals, schools and businesses and fuel for automobiles, trucks and airplanes; networks of paved roads promote mobility, commerce and assimilation; and the invention of medical devices and discovery of chemical substances extend and improve the quality of life."
We must not allow the Enviro-Statists to use Big Government tyranny to wreck our civilization and way of life.
