That's why I am not surprised that he tucked tail and left in the debate on Gristmill. This intended audience is typically not as knowledgable as some members of the public as you or David and other pro-nuclear debaters. Lovins tries to influence the decision makers and public opinion through the back door, not through the democratic or peer review process. He acts, mybe intentionally, maybe not, like a 5th column lobbyist for the oil/gas industry. His intention is definitely NOT research to increase knowledge. With this intention it is not worth his time, and is even dangerous, for him to publicly debate. As some members of his intended audience might see the debate or debunking and start to ask questions themselves. He cannot risk that and therefore his best course is to end the debate by silence."<BR/><BR/>We have to be really on the lookout to see references to this latest Lovins paper in the media, or mentioned by politicians. When found, we should immediately point the reporter or politician to Davids debunking series. At least this way the damage Lovins does can be mitigated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597656451205429515.post-3075649466754476152008-07-08T16:17:00.000-05:002008-07-08T16:17:00.000-05:00Thank you David.Thank you David.Charles Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125297013064527425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597656451205429515.post-60919074686277208522008-07-08T15:46:00.000-05:002008-07-08T15:46:00.000-05:00Thanks, you're definitely a part of this debate so...Thanks, you're definitely a part of this debate so keep it up!David Bradishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439638522932781068noreply@blogger.com
