“EDF has long taken a pro-natural gas posture. While other groups worked to ban fracking, EDF argued ... that environmentalists should instead work to make sure that fracking was done in such a way as to minimize the harm it inflicted on surrounding communities.”
“The EDF board of trustees includes several investors with major financial stakes in the oil and gas industry, including the granddaughter of the ‘father of fracking’ and an investor behind a fracked gas power plant seeking to expand its operations in New York’s Hudson Valley.”
Now go read the whole expose. To solve the climate crisis, we must not only fight the fossil fuel industry but also identify false and compromised friends. EDF has fallen far since it worked to ban DDT and PCBs, for which I give its founders enormous credit.
