Telegraph
The Green Blob sprouts especially vigorously in Brussels. The European
Commission website reveals that a staggering 150 million euros (£119
million) was paid to the top nine green NGOs from 2007-13.
European Union officials give generous grants to green groups so that they
will lobby it for regulations that then require large budgets to enforce.
When I attended a council meeting of elected EU ministers on shale gas in
Lithuania last year, we were lectured by a man using largely untrue clichés
about the dangers of shale gas. We discovered that he was from the European
Environment Bureau, an umbrella group for unelected, taxpayer-subsidised
green lobby groups."
