direstraits: Re: [All-E] Ethanol may add to global warming

Dear Wayne,

Since were in the spirit of critiquing each others posts, it would only be fair to include the one you've just sent.

1.) Skirting Issues:

skirt (Websters dictionary): the rim, periphery, or environs of an area

Of the hundreds of posts I've made to this list, there must be (according to you) lots of examples where, instead of directly addressing an issue, I stay at "the rim or periphery".

...so find one

2.) False conclusions: Well, expose them - PLEASE. Simply saying that I draw false conclusions without supporting it with anything, lacks merit and can itself be a false conclusion. However, I'm sure you have lots of examples with corroborating evidence. I'm eager to see it. More importantly, conclusions are debated on this list in an effort to determine their accuracy (whether they are true or false). Without debate, there is only complicity. So, let's debate.

3.) "If you don't like nuclear unplug your computer."

I'll address that one when I figure out what you're trying to say.

4.) "I like nuclear and will continue to use it and you will not stop it from happening."

That sounds like a tiff between a teenage girl and her parents about her choice of boyfriend. A comment like that says that you not only look forward to the demise of diversity and free markets for energy, but that you'll actually fight for it. I'm sure that the people at Entergy would appreciate that. If you think Exxon's profits are big, just imagine what it would be like if oil is replaced with uranium.

5.) "The problems with nuclear waste will be solved in spite of your best efforts."

On the contrary Wayne, I truly hope that some way is found to render nuclear waste harmless. Then we can truly begin the work of undoing the mistake of nuclear power generation.

So, I wonder what "best efforts" you are referring to.
