I am currently reading a book of essays by Jerry Pournelle. Published in 1978 I believe. Interesting to look at the politics of science and ranting about prehistoric moonbats. He really had a hate on for so called ecologists, enviromentalists, and President Carter. The fascinating articles are where he rips apart so-called alternative energies, like wind power, and ethanol fuels. He does it by looking at the energy output of each and with grain fuels the cost of food and energy to grow it. Sound familiar?
