On this, the government is trying to create a false dichotomy that you can't have good environmental policy coexist with good economic policy. The reality is that more progressive economic leadership understands that you must have both, particularly if you want to create the jobs of the future.

For this reason it's being defunded and disbanded by this government. It's another attempt to eliminate any dissension or any voices with which the government disagrees.
