What is Gunpoint Environmentalism?


1.

Refers to environmentalism forced upon a group, company, or person or persons with the consequence of severe financial hardship in the event of non-compliance.

First coined by novelist Eric Shawn in his thriller The Power.

Example: California's (failed) laws governing the automotive industry requiring that a specified percentage of all cars on the road be zero-emission vehicles by a certain date. That is gunpoint environmentalism.

Example sentence: Congress' new bills providing grants only to farmers engaged in so-called "green" agricultural practices amount to gunpoint environmentalism as landowners scramble to comply.
