9. I simply called up the Danish Energy Website.

Then I merely quoted, um, Amory Lovins speaking about himself.

Of course, I believe that quoting Amory Lovins listing the semi-fascist and incredibly polluting companies he, um, works for, says something about him.

He says he consults for "Suncor," on his damn website, not mine.

Now in case anyone things that "Suncor" is a solar energy company, here's the um, "Suncor" website, telling us that um, oil sands are "green," a bit of Orwellian doublespeak that only Lovins could engineer: http://www.suncor.com/en/about/242.aspx

The "Green" Suncor: http://www.suncor.com/default.aspx

I would not be able to face myself ethically if I applauded a shit for brain pal of Jeffrey Skilling - which is what Lovins is - sitting on his fat ass in Snowmass, outside Aspen, greenwashing oil sands companies.

You may mutter all you want about "teaparty type wingnuts," but I'm not impressed. I have zero interest in kissing up to the bizarre provincial economic focus you sell here.

For instance, I, have never, not once, in my tenure here wrote a breathless post about cars for billionaires and millionaires while living on a planet where WHO reports that 2-3 billion people lack basic sanitation.

The World Health Organization's web page on the billions without basic sanitation.

Thank you for declaring yourself the world expert on the tea party. As the world expert on tea party types, maybe you'd like to clarify which thing would a tea partier talk about, the $137,500 BMW i8 or the fact that more than two billion people have never seen, never mind operated, a flush toilet?

Have a great evening. As always, it's been a pleasure to chat. Give my regards to your "drill baby, drill" pals at the "Danish Energy Agency"
