one more reason

for anyone interested in actual conservation to consider Ducks Unlimited instead.
kinda funny seeing sacred cows turning on the spit.

Is $26 million worth the reputation of a venerable, 1.4 million member environmental group?

The Sierra Club may be about to find out.

Last week's revelations about the 120-year-old organization’s hushed financial marriage to the natural gas industry — and its just-as-secretive divorce — have left some long-time supporters feeling angry, betrayed or misled. The news cut especially deep for activists who have spent years fighting the spread of shale gas drilling in states like New York and Pennsylvania.

The Sierra Club quietly accepted $26 million in donations from gas industry interests from 2007 to 2010 — years when the group’s national leaders were talking up gas as a cleaner, greener “bridge fuel” alternative to coal.

too bad as they were right to promote natural gas if they were going to get involved in something other than conservation.
