Those groups exist, and do contain some anti-industrial proponents, but they have very little influence on policy. They get the same token gestures from the Democrats as the Republicans give the pro-lifers, only far, far less. If there's a corruptive element to climate change policy, it's a cash grab from green energy companies. After 2000, the Democrats know that the green voters won't dare vote third party again (sadly), so don't care about appeasing them beyond gestures.
