Although I support you
on advocating for a carbon tax, I disagree
on your opposition to the subsidies for
alternative energy and your kind of «mindless middle» mushiness about a conference that was set up
specifically as a forum for the skeptics (a rather unpleasant habit they seem to be picking up from the creationists).
Take ConocoPhillips, which highlights its «emerging technologies and
alternative energy sources» activities
on its website — but fails to mention that in April 2012 it divested all of these activities to focus exclusively
on its «core business» of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas, and
specifically to take advantage of the North American «shale revolution» and tar sands production in Canada.
