When Americans were afraid that communism was going to infiltrate and take over the United States, it was called The Red Scare. But now some Americans fear the encroachment of environmentalism and its inevitable restrictive regulations, a phenomenon that could be called, appropriately, The Green Scare.
Maybe this would make a good horror movie, where Republicans and oil and coal company executives and such are frightened and stalked by environmental activists who want to destroy their interests by implementing clean energy and conservationism. Or perhaps it would make an even better fun political ad for the green movement, showing how scary they are to the dirty energy people, climate change deniers, and their shills in the government.
