As you say,,, It might almost seem like opposing industries are funding fights against competing ecology destroying industries. And not that I doubt that there aren't industries covering even that angle in an effort to get the biggest share of whatever is left over, but let's not get carried away with such a supposition. Industry has much more cost effective ways to spend their lobbying dollars.
I hope not many environmentalists are blinding themselves to where their funding is coming from because I believe in the old argument that it's hard to bring the house down on yourself when you are inside of it. Samson had a special gift.
The important thing to remember is that it really is just a house of cards, so if someone huffs and puffs and blows it down people on the bottom floor will get hurt the most. I think the trick is to take cards one by one like a river moving an island downstream, and move them to where they are more appropriate. A slow process that can't be conducted if you are entrenched in the infrastructure.
