As Gary Pearce once warned us, politically savvy liberals realize that ?victory requires a bodyguard of lies.? So we should be wary of those who sound sensible when pushing ideas that make little sense.
Still, it?s nice to read in the latest TIME that a fellow named Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute offers the following prescription for energy policy:
The easiest way to get there at a policy level would be to have an economically conservative energy policy, in which all ways to produce energy get to compete fairly at honest prices, regardless of their type, technology, size, location or ownership. That’s pretty much the opposite of the policy framework we have built up over the past half-century that just favors what technologies end up with the biggest campaign contributions.
