The Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank, argues that the costs of such green initiatives outweigh their benefits, suggesting that they impose unnecessary economic burdens (Heartland Institute, 2017).

Guess some people see everything in a cost-profit margin only.

Anything the Heartland Institute publishes should never be treated as anything but toilet paper.

Same goes for any and all think tanks
