guys it should be SOOOOO obvious what this is REALLY about. This gets your name and blog in the WSJ, you hobknow with the big shots at the API and guess what? You're now much more likely to call them on their bullshit.

YEs, yes, I know. "insert reason why the chimp is mistaken here."

It's basically a not-so-subtle way of buying you off except they're using social status/blog power instead of actual money.

Of course it could be I'm just upset becasue they failed to addrsss my concerns regarding post-Olduvai cliff loin cloth selection.

Chimpy, I think the problem is the cultural one.

Most people on TOD are trying to get at the truth.
That gives them a disadvantage when up against
people with a background in trade associations and
politics. (http://www.ase.org/images/lib/GEED/Red%20Cavaney.pdf)

If you give Cavaney any credibility over Simmons, well....

But seriously, thanks to RR for his time and trouble.

TCWCD,
"Of course it could be I'm just upset becasue they failed to addrsss my concerns regarding post-Olduvai cliff loin cloth selection."

"LOIN CLOTH? LOIN CLOTH?"

What do you need with a loin cloth when you will be basking in the warm 100 degree endless summer created by the coal to liquid industry in the last great luxury carbon bath!

"LOIN CLOTH? I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' LOIN CLOTH!"

API = industry funded think tank. Unfortunately, decent answers were never likely, although it is very interesting to see their responses, nonetheless.
