a question of power

[John Larkin]

This is a cool book: it's all about electricity.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1610397495

The author is obviously a journalist (only journalists call machinery
"contraptions" or electricity "juice") but at least he gets the units
right.

Sounds like we'll be burning a lot of coal for a long time in the
future.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bryce_(writer)

Robert Bryce was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Research institute
from 2012 to 2019. He stopped being a journalist quite a while ago.

"The Manhattan Institute is a policy think tank that has received
significant funding from both ExxonMobil and Koch Industries. According
to media transparency, the Manhattan Institute has been known to
“obscure” science supporting man-made climate change.

Bryce has been unwilling to answer questions about the funding the
Manhattan Institute receives from the fossil fuel industry."

So John Larkin is - as usual - peddling climate change denial
propaganda. He is a gullible sucker for that kind of nonsense.

My go-to source for dirt on organisations is Transparency
International, and they make no such accusation. You're wrong again,
Bill.

Transparency International is all about financial corruption.

The Manhattan Institute is selling it's services in a perfectly open way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchants_of_Doubt

It's a perfectly honest merchant of doubt. The doubts it is selling are
lies, but neither you nor John Larkin are willing to recognise that.

There's a lively international trade in delusion and misinformation.
Truth in advertising is an ideal, but a more expensive ideal than
anybody seems able to afford.
