For years, when arguing with Environmentalist friends (yes, I have them) about the Energy Debate, they claimed that their movement was not about reducing human populations or energy needs, but rather about finding CLEAN methods to produce energy. Well, Texas is about to do just that with one of the largest off-shore wind farms ever build. Environmentalist response? It is bad, because migrating birds may be caught by the spinning blades.
Personally, I think this is one of the reasons we are still using mostly fossil fuels. Environmentalists protest any energy-producing method, because it supports an increase in human population which will inevitably displace more of "nature." So we keep doing what we have always done, because at least there the arguments are not new.
