"I see some pretty significant moral and ethical concerns right there but what do I know."

I can appreciate the facetious ending to your sentence, but you have truly struck gold with those words. Our energy problems ARE philosophical. Distortion, denials and evasions ,of morality and ethics are the under pining of all the manipulations in the energy field.

While it would take at least an essay, though more likely a book, to elaborate fully on the absurd ideas that have been served to the public for decades, one of the most glaring is the idea that a free market is both evil and cannot solve problems. Another is the idea that the ordinary citizen is too stupid to look after themselves and a cohort of well-paid experts need to make all decisions.

I could go on but then I'd be stealing your space and it's delightful to see your sharp keyboard driving stakes into the hearts of the energy manipulating vampires.

Oh, I love the vampire reference, thank you! Do go on whenever you have the time, the philosophical/ideological aspect of the whole transition affair is greatly overlooked.
