38. How is EneNews transparent?

For all we know they could be funded by the gas fracking or coal industry.

Who benefits most if Japan quits nuclear? Probably nations that export coal and liquefied gas. Australia? Is that you?

It's easier to buy an off-the-shelf fossil fuel power plant than it is to build a solar, wind, and geothermal electric power system from the ground up.

Anyways, that's just an anonymous conspiracy theory from hunter, who is not nearly so secretive as the EneNews publisher.

I'm a little circumspect about my identity here on DU not because I feel threatened by the agencies and corporations and gun humpers I despise, I'm circumspect because I don't want to be harassed by clueless twits.

I got burned by the Black Box Voting noise machine, as did a few other DU members, including activists who were actually getting their hands dirty in the legislative sausage mills cleaning up the mess. Mostly I know what was going on in Sacramento. I saw how Bev Harris and her crew twisted reality and I'm somewhat ashamed of a few things I wrote here in that debacle. But it did give me some insights how smoke and mirrors are used to obscure the truth, often in ways that cause harm to the cause the cause the activist claims to support.

I had similar experiences previously in the anti-nuclear movement in regards to the shut down of the Humboldt and Rancho Seco power stations, opposition to the San Onofre Expansion and Diablo Canyon power plant, and the cleanup of the accident site at Santa Susana. I wasn't the cynical son of a bitch then that I am now.

Transparently, EneNews is an anonymous aggregator. Big deal. Anyone who can figure out the news sorting functions of Google can do that -- it's not computer science.
