What will they find wrong with it, I wonder? Will they pretend that the technological advances haven’t happened yet, like they do with stem cel from skin tissue and directional drilling? Or will they admit that they’ve taken place, but claim they’re still experimental, risky schemes? Or will they say that it’s just a delaying tactic by ‘big oil’ to stave off development of solar and wind energy?
