This is an awesome video that a loyal reader just shared with me, clearly not what FOX News wanted it to become.
Of course, the playing field is not even. They start the segment with a bunch of typical anti-wind statements and as soon as AWEA’s CEO, Denise Bode, starts to reply to them (or answer questions throughout the interview), the hosts bully her and speak above her to make her stop.
The host continues to try to do so throughout. However, eventually Denise takes over and slams them on the issue of subsidies and wind’s cost-competitiveness.
One criticism is that Denise uses a little too much technical language at the beginning.
But continually repeating the fact that fossil fuels and nuclear have gotten totally unbalanced subsidies is a great feature of Denise’s response (though, could have been a little more). Her repetition on wind energy’s cost-competitiveness is also great.
Why do I have the feeling they won’t bring her back or if they do, they’ll let her speak even less.
Unfortunately, they’ll continue to spout the one-sided propaganda and this is, of course, one key reason why China is kicking our a** in the clean energy race. As our reader wrote, when sharing this with me, “If you give it a listen I think you’ll understand why so many people in the US don’t "get it". If one uses Fox as their information source, they’re screwed….”
Everybody should be able to voice their opinion. I do not know why Fox would not let someone talk. Could it be the work of one reporter? But then on the other hand most of the news media does not even begin to report what Fox does. So to say you are screwed for listening to Fox means you have your head in the sand on most important issues.
ReplyDeleteYou are a follower of the ultra left wing nut cases that want American turned into socialist communist country controlled by a few goof balls in Washington with nothing but an agenda to fill their pockets and pockets of the companies (GE) that support them. GE paid no taxes. How can that be?
Example Al Gore is alleged to make at LEAST $15 BILLION if cap and trade were passed.
Now the EPA is doing that for them.
So you keep watching the other media until it is to late for our country.
