The People Who Understand Renewable Energy Can “Handle the Truth”

Jill Buck responded to my recent accolades on her abilities as a host on her fabulous show: Go Green Radio.  She wrote: “Wow, thank you, Craig! I’ll share your post via my social media network in the morning– very kind!”

I responded:

What I wrote was not about kindness; but rather about truth.  Not that any of the other 50 hosts were idiots (wait — scratch that; a few of them were Class-A idiots) but almost all of them were very bright people.

This show is about getting at the truth.  It’s not about posturing or advocating for a cause merely out of ignorance of the opposing perspective.  It’s about asking big, bold, irreverent questions, in this case: What precisely will happen if we move to renewable energy?  Who will benefit? Who will lose?  Jill wants to explore the good and the bad, the holy and the heretical.  She asks her guests to “bring it on.”  To steal (and then bastardize) a phase from one of my favorite movies, “A Few Good Men” I leave you with this: “She can HANDLE the truth.” 

For readers who may have been confused by this last remark, here’s a scene from that great film.
