SHOT: Capital Research Center published a new attack on the Natural Resources Defense Council today, accusing the environmental group of hypocrisy for failing to praise Trump’s proposed diesel export ban within three days, all because NRDC opposed expanding LNG exports 16 months ago.
CHASER: Buried in the same article, CRC concedes the ban would likely cut domestic diesel production and push prices higher. So CRC’s big scandal is that an environmental group stayed quiet about a policy CRC itself expects to backfire. And the evidence for this outrage? A few Google searches and a question to Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot.
Then again, CRC has never needed a real story to go after environmental groups. Its “Green Watch” project has churned out more than 500 attacks on them, powered by more than $5 million from foundations built on oil and gas fortunes.
