59. All I'm saying is that you claim he gets to rest on his laurels and can do no wrong
I don't agree with what Lovins wrote. Renewable energy needs subsidies to get the industry fully on its feet. Once that happens *and* all other energy subsidies are removed then I don't care if they take away subsidies from renewable energy. But saying things right out of the right wing and oil company play book is NOT okay with me. At least not right now. Talk to me in 15 years and that will probably change -- renewables will be cheaper than any other source of power and there will be no discussion about which to use.

But as long as the fossil fuels industry receives free land to despoil, free mile upon mile of coastal waters, and many times the monetary incentives that renewables get I just can't agree with Lovins or, apparently you at this point. Sorry.
