Collusion?

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/collusion

quote:

1. a secret agreement, especially for fraudulent or treacherous purposes; conspiracy:
Some of his employees were acting in collusion to rob him.
2. Law. a secret understanding between two or more persons to gain something illegally, to defraud another of his or her rights, or to appear as adversaries though in agreement:
collusion of husband and wife to obtain a divorce.

So, which definition does it fall under? If the environmental groups haven't had to announce all their donors, then it's not really secret, is it? It's not a conspiracy. It's not for fraudulent or treacherous purposes. Both groups want the US to limit nat. gas production. Granted, it's for vastly different reasons, but that falls on the environmental groups for selling out.

The irony of a Republican going after a group with ties to Russia is almost too much to bear.
Still, shit like this sort of proves that globally, environmentalism is a huge, huge uphill battle.

One of these days maybe...maybe, it will dawn on people that [it] meaning IT, is...all about the fucking money.

The great and glorious incentives of the capitalist...is money, which means then...more money. If need be, turn the planet into an industrial toilet...for a profit center.

With the billion$ in profits every year using fossil fuels, means we (the world) will not see a shift from them until we've burned every last fucking drop.
