Wall Street Journal Ignores the Financial Risks of Coal

From SolveClimate:

The Wall Street Journal's editorial writers again revealed their disregard of basic carbon economics in a piece last Friday that ignored new financial realities in order to stump in favor of more coal power for Kansas."

The piece was filled with inaccuracies, but this was the most glaring lie: they said Governor Kathleen Sibelius is suggesting wind power as the sole alternative to the two coal plants she's so far successfully stopped. In actual fact, the Governor in a spirit of compromise has quite reasonably proposed building only one coal plant in Kansas as an alternative to two, but her offer has been rejected by desperate coal interests there."

I read the whole editorial and fail to see what SolveClimate objected to.

SolveClimate objects to the WSJ's reasoning, so therefore, the WSJ's opinion becomes a "lie". A few more gratutitous slurs are tossed in but SolveClimate impugns itself more then anyone else.

About the climate cover-up

About the climate cover-up

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
