This is the first in a series of occasional posts I'm writing to grow an idea I'm calling "Deep Accountability."
Currently, fossil fuel industry lobbyists, flacks, allied pundits, and government officials are far too comfortable dismissing concerns about what their pollution does to other people. In their minds, it's a big country, there's plenty to use, and pollution is no big deal as long as it creates problems for other people. Permanently contaminate water tables with gas drilling's fracking fluids? Just cart in water for those other people.
The problem is, we really don't have a big enough country to trash it like we've been doing. In fact, we can't afford to trash it much more at all.
