So it turns out that those who are actively opposed to hydrofracking have been coined by industry insiders as "insurgents". The story over on treehugger.com shows how companies skew reality and do not listen to those with valid concerns. Instead, they would rather liken us to Iraqi militants opposed to occupying rule. A quote mentioned in the blog by the man who labelled anti-frackers as insurgents goes a step further in this corporate attack on consumer awareness.
This is an outrage and I urge anyone reading this to see that corporate big wigs view those of us who are holding them accountable as the enemy. They think it is an actual battle and they cannot even see past their own lies. They would rather blame us for impeding their progress toward larger profits than take responsibility for the fact that they are harming the environment. Instead of finding a solution that makes everyone happy, they just want to call us names. Boycott their businesses and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. We should not be held captive by corporate greed any longer.
Oh, and to show you why we need to get energy companies and automaker's to make the jump away from fossil fuel, here is the latest report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). People, we've got to get from talk to action stat!
The comment was simply suggesting the industry embrace a broader move toward more active community engagement and increased transparency, as it's very important to build fact-based knowledge to maintain public trust amidst special interests that often use misinformation to create fear.It really upsets me when these corporate managers treat us as if we are stupid. By referring to those opposed to hydrofracking as special interest groups using misinformation, they transfer the guilt from their own special interest which spreads half-truths and lies to get what they want. Sadly, there are many who do not see through this type of speech and buy into the corporate web of lies. A great majority of those believers I like to call congressmen and senators.
