The money of private foundations and the power of grant-driven environmental groups can begin the job of dismantling natural resource industry in rural America.

It takes the force of government to finish the job.

More than 50 former environmental group executives occupy or have occupied high level positions in the Clinton administration.

Environmental group leaders go through a revolving door: From environmental group to government and back to environmental group and back to government, etc. These revolvers build up special contacts and special skills that give them insider advantages over the local communities and citizens impacted by their actions.

In addition, members of anti-industry green groups such as Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics and Public Employees for Environmental Responsiblity occupy lower level jobs in civil service positions of influence that do not rely on political appointment.

Without the help of activist federal employees in high and low level positions, the green anti-industry agenda would have much less success.

Who are these bureaucratic power players?
