You aren't even on the same page as the discussion.

I've told you before when you made the allegation that I work for either "big wind" or "natural gas" but I'll tell you again now when you say I'm "an employee of an energy company" - no, I'm not. I'm an independent researcher who stumbled into a place where there was an urgent need to support the fundamental progressive position on our energy needs against the encroachment of rightwing policies designed to promote the continuation of business as usual.
