Reply #43: So now you are stooping to complete fabrication to play "are you still beating your wife" eh?

As I've made clear from the beginning, I'm an independent self-funded researcher here doing research to identify the type and source of misinformation in the public debate over energy. I landed here doing research after coming here for respite from the rightwing onslaught under Bush. I stayed to do research after discovering that the proponents of nuclear energy here were routinely and systematically falsifying information in a way the seemed designed to undermine the facts about renewables. In fact, some of my first posts on DU EE were in defense of nuclear power when inapt comparisons were made about Chernobyl.

I have a background in cultural anthropology and am trained on the subject of carbon mitigation policy, strategies and technologies. My professional profile would place me as an energy policy analyst specializing in the transition to a noncarbon economy.

Considering I've never received any funding other than an academic stipend not connected to any entity other than the univeristy, these attempts by you and others to paint me as a paid operative are going to make interesting reading as part of my findings when I publish.
