Thxs for the support of the idea of EIA principals debating online.  Anybody can generate statistics and graphs-- the value [or nonsense] becomes apparent by carefully detailing methodologies, sources, verifiability, etc.

Data freaks, who possess the willingness to carefully explain their results, is what ultimately shifts people's permeability to accept new evidence.  I am very thankful that Key TODers like Stuart, RR, et al, are generously forthcoming in answering questions.  The EIA should be required to do the same by appointing an official spokesperson here on TOD to either enhance or diminish their credibility.

Chris Skrebowski is trying to do the same with his latest article on Energy Bulletin:

I suggest that his article should be read by all, and be a stand-alone thread here on TOD.
