The other thing about these think tanks is that their “experts” are nothing of the kind.

Take Mr. Taylor, for example. Does he have any science or engineering background in the energy industry?

No. His background is in political science.

I’m rather weary of listening to the prattle and twaddle from lawyers, poli-sci and journalist types on technical issues. I’d like to see an energy bill that has at least *some* technical input from people who might know what the three laws of thermodynamics are.

This is not a “technical” issue. It’s about freedom - which happens to be a “political” issue.

Mr. Taylor writes well about economics. The problem with this bill is that it is a central plan just like the kind the Soviet Politburo used to issue. We all know how successful the Soviet central plans were. This bill will lead to boondoggles and not solve any problems.
