Fascinating Interactivist<\/a> interview at Grist <\/em>with Norris McDonald, president of the African American Environmentalist Association. If you were around to witness my dialogue with Michael K. Dorsey (here<\/a> and here<\/a>) a while back, you’ll recognize much of this, including outright criticism of mainstream environmental groups, and (in McDonald’s case) a more subtle attack on “The Death of Environmentalism.” I’m a little surprised to see McDonald supporting nuclear energy, as I’m guessing (though I can’t say for sure) that nuclear plants often end up nearer poorer minority neighborhoods, like so many other means of generating power. I definitely like his idea of mainstream environmental groups putting some of their warchests into “services” (he mentions “team[ing] with electric utilities to offer $5,000 plug-in hybrid electric cars that you pay for in your regular utility bill.”). Michael, if you’re still around, I’d love to hear your comments…<\/p>\n Technorati tags: African-American<\/a>, environmentalism<\/a><\/p>\n
