I think we need the left wing whiners to make noise about the enviroment, to make the government, and in turn, the companies, respond to the enviromental concerns. Without that pressure I don't think the corporations would concern themselves enough with the enviromental side of things. They need someone to keep them honest.
I have worked in the oil & gas industry and currently work in the mining industry, and I think its vital that the environmental concerns keep becoming an issue, because at the end of the day, for a corporation, money and profits are top priority. I think companies are starting to respond well, and are starting to actually care about the enviromental impact they have, but I question whether they would do so without external entities making noise about it.
