Shifting Political Priorities and Environmental Concerns
This chapter examines the realignment of political parties in the U.S., focusing on the Democratic Party's shift from civil rights to corporate interests, contrasted by the Republican Party's embrace of working-class values. It also investigates the ecological impact of expanding offshore wind farms and the lack of accountability regarding environmental and health concerns, including the effects of chemical contaminants and regulatory failures. The chapter critiques the mainstream environmental movement's narrow focus, advocating for a more comprehensive approach to environmental protection that considers all aspects of nature and humanity.
