The sad thing about these think tanks is that they divide policy and discuss policy in fine detail and this is not how policy is made. Our process is not reasonable and our politicians are not public spirited enough for the truth to matter one way or another. It’s raw power and political calculation. A corrupt process.
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.
