The LAT reports today on Sierra Club efforts to prevent construction of new coal-fired power plants. The LAT piece reflects favorably on Sierra Club efforts, meaning the piece needs balance.
The Sierra Club is not what it appears to be. It was formed to preserve the Sierra for backpackers and others who enjoy the outdoors. It has evolved into a radical environmental organization that opposes not only coal but nuclear power and property rights. It favors taking properties or the benefits of property ownership from property owners and converting the properties to uses Sierra Club approves. In this respect it is like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and the Castros of Cuba, where property rights don't exist. The U.S. does not need to become more like Zimbabwe or Cuba.
