Energy Citizens is a group organized to protest the proposed climate change legislation. The group is backed by Big Petroleum.
My Take: It sounds like a variation of Thank You for Smoking. As with health care, the stakes are huge and there are special interests on both sides (don't for a moment think that there aren't). My opinion is that we need to reduce our reliance on oil, but the issues for me are primarily economic. I have lived through global cooling in the 70s and global warming and now it's just climate change. I also believe that better local energy production and reducing or even eliminating the electrical grid is a national security issue. I am not a fan of these debates because there is too much certainty on both sides about issues which are far too complex for us to understand at this time. Whatever side you take, please be humble and treat the other side with respect because you are probably both wrong.
