You say environmentalists are overstating things.
Read the last link I provided. I have never seen such overstatements - well, except Enron's representations of ChewCo.
Both sides adopt the most extreme of possible scenarios to support their cause. While I agree with the "middle road" philosophy (primarily because credibility is IMHO the one commodity a lawyer has to sell) that does not mean everyone with a cause should temper their view.
How can you require environmentalists to be uber-honest in representations without being pissed at articles like the one I posted or like any you can find on oil production websites. That's a double-standard, and you are not holding your side of the argument up to the behavior you are holding my side up to.
There's no reason one side should be honest and the other shouldn't.
Unless you admit we're the good guys and you're the bad guys.
Good to see you today, BTW.
