If the party bosses tell you to get out of the way for some ill-conceived and environmentally destructive hydro, solar, or wind project, you get out of the way.

Personally, as some kind of radical environmentalist, I think we should ban all development of previously undeveloped land, not just for fossil fuels, but for hydro, wind, and solar too.

Destroying fragile desert environments for solar power won't save the world.
