Oil industry advised to play dirty with greens

The Hill reports:

A veteran political lobbyist told the oil and gas industry that, if it wants to continually expand drilling operations, it must be ready to “win ugly or lose pretty,” according to a secretly taped recording of the comments.

Consultant Richard Berman, founder and CEO of the Washington-based firm Berman and Co., made the comments during a speech to industry executives in June, The New York Times reports.

Not everyone is a fan of the green religion.
