Environmentalism needs a reality check because too often environmental rules and regulations are used in order to prevent someone from exercising their private rights as a citizens or as a corporations to make a profit on their property or enjoy a piece of property that they own.

Too often environmental lawsuits are filed, which prevent the United States citizen from having better infrastructure, better power plants or better services. Many an environmental impact report for a major upgrade of a piece of infrastructure such as a power plant, sewer treatment facility or freeway expansion has come under fire. This adds legal costs to project and delays.

It is unacceptable to use environmental laws to prevent the forward progression of our civilization. And since we live in the greatest nation ever created in the history of mankind we need to constantly monitor our progress and better our efforts to continue to advance all we all or a and all we have built.

When environmentalists abuse environmental law invariably it hurts the American People. We should never allow environmental laws to trump common sense or the preventing of the betterment of our society or civilization. This is not why we created the environmental laws and it is not how we should be using them. Please consider all this in 2006.
