Not when it is to the detriment of the entire planet and is motivated by the desire to raise energy prices and corporate profits. Natural Gas energy is currently MORE harmfull to the environment than crude oil. The same corporations and investors are behind both technologies. The Koch brothers spend hundreds of millions of dollars funding bloggers and pundits so Joe redstate will disbelieve the science and politisize the issue. How did an issue like energy development/environmental inpact become a red state vs blue state issue? Because big energy money plants that dialog into the media and feeds on the confusion and diversion while they continue to be short sighted and avaricious.
Instead of arguing about politics and man vs nature as the culprit, why don't we just find a way to fix the concrete problem and stop the contamination?

And by the way: Big oil does not fund fundamentalist Islamic terrorists. Thats like saying the US owned corporations funds hate groups and domestic terrorists just because they live in this country.
