Pots, kettles, accusations, etc

Coming from a member of the Green Party, the irony is rich:

Critics have condemned the rethink on nuclear power, pointing out that many EU parliamentarians are letting themselves be fooled by the nuclear lobby's "climate" arguments.

"If you wanted to be really cynical you could say that the nuclear industry had to invent the whole climate discussion in order to see a chance for themselves," said Rebecca Harms, an MP from Germany's Green party.

"I know of no other case in which a huge industry tries so hard to benefit from a huge global problem as the nuclear industry does in the case of climate change."
Hmmm, no other case of those seeking benefit? Myriad environmental organisations, statists, socialists, anti-caps of all stripes, just a few which come to mind.
