| Newt Gingrich is an anti-environmentalist who spreads disinformation and has done more than any politician in the last two decades to thwart a sensible climate policy that includes a major clean technology component, as I have explained.

That alienated conservatives, who thereafter got demonized as enemies of the enviro ... |
