Nature on the Rack: Will Falk on Mauna Kea

Please check out this passionate, eloquent essay from Deep Green Resistance member Will Falk. Will deconstructs the issues surrounding the ongoing attempts to block construction of an 18-story astronomical observatory with an Extremely Large Telescope (ELT).

More on the “Magicke” of Green Technology

19 Jul

Deep Green Resistance understands that Green Technology, Renewable Energy and other similar terms/approaches are a false promise.

Green Technology and Renewable Energy: The Deep Green Resistance Perspective

1 Jul

Few topics generate more commentary on our page than critiques of alternative energy. For many, solar, wind, and other non-fossil energy sources and technologies represent a pragmatic hope for saving the biosphere. Our position on these technologies is that they represent a false hope for a couple of reasons. One: their manufacturing processes are fossil-fuel […]

10 Jun

Mora County New Mexico Fracking Ban Overturned

27 Jan

In yet another case of corporate interests trumping environmental concerns or the ability of local communities to live with autonomy and in concert with the landbase, it is being reported that Mora County, New Mexico’s “nation’s-first ban on oil and gas drilling and fracking has been overturned by a federal judge”.  We in Deep Green […]
