Environmental victories

All of the Republican candidates for governor in Pennsylvania are calling for increased fracking, increased pipelines, and increased fossil fuel development.

Sierra Club leader David Brower once said, “All environmental victories are temporary; all environmental losses are permanent.”  Once the fracking wastewater is pumped into the ground, it stays there.  Once the methane is released into the air, it stays there.  And once the climate heats up, it stays hot.  In the meantime all of the victories against pipelines and methane releases and fracking can be undone at any time.
