Evan, there is no straw man in the comment I presented.  If you think so, I'd like you to present your definition and provide an example of that in my comment.

The agenda and the hate this article tried to create is just troubling.  If you're pro-oil or not, both sides want what's best for the environment given the long term damage it causes to all parties.  Critics and the industry have moved in such a positive direction over the years; saying one side doesn't need or want the other party is just wrong given the progress.
