re: #212 The Shadow Do

Reine, you and I both know that these public reviews in the decision making process produce a product that is in line with the monied interests. There is a need for true public debate and accountability in anything as potentially expensive as CO2 rules/regs.

No, I don’t know that, not one bit.

I was deeply involved in the rule-making process here, for the agency I worked for.

The comments we received, and heard in hearings, were taken very seriously. Well, the ones that were rationally presented, not the ones that were strictly emotional (but it’s not faaaaaair! etc).

These things were taken very seriously. And there were plenty of times we would hold something for months, with endless meetings and discussions about the issues involved - and other times we would simply withdraw our proposal altogether.

Don’t think that you have no voice.
