Gruss, words have meanings. You said that energy demand is growing exponentially. I pointed out that it is not growing exponentially and backed up my claim. The easy thing would be for you to just say, "ok, not exponentially, but it is growing and we are going to have a problem with fossil fuels". And I can totally agree with that. In fact, I did say that myself. But instead you just bluster on trying to create a narrative to back up a stupid assertion that you just tossed out there. And every time someone challenges your blithe assertion, you just try and spin more and more words at it or take it in a new direction.
When I showed that it wasn't growing exponentially, what was your reaction? To lay out a false statement about my assertions on a wholly unrelated topic in an attempt to distract. That's pathetic. It's easy to use words carelessly. And it happens to everyone, no biggie. When it happens to you, just man up, admit it, then go on to what you were really trying to get across. I think I have a lot of agreement with you about energy security but the way you present things makes you come off like a jerk who only repeats what he reads in headlines and then tries to make people believe that they actually know what is going on.
