Mr. Eshman's open admission about a failed venture in green investment was a welcome change of a pace from an editor who has generated some heated controversy among readers.
"A fool and his ideology are soon parted."
Ideology demands that its adherents close theirs eyes to the facts on the ground, which are ever changing, and the force of tradition and history, which is never changing in its efficacy.
Green technology to save the environment and to wean us off of foreign energy is a nice sound bite, but "we" can effect its occurrence. Purchasing power is an individual act in a free market, the one mechanism which can instill economy and efficiency while dispossessing consumers from rampant fraud and deception.
If we really want to break free of the House of Saud for our energy needs, then the United States Congress must release drilling permits to explore for more energy off-shore and in Alaska. France relies on nuclear power for three-fourths of its energy usage. The United State can invest in nuclear power, which contrary to the green-extreme hype, is actually very safe and reliable, but requires intense and consistent investment.
