    project much?   wow.  just wow. I suppose you are like many journalists, great at lobbing grenades, twisting words, selectively publishing quotes,, bad at having the tables turned and the spotlight pointed the other way.  revealing no?   to revist that Fast Company piece, er brilliant journalism, there was so clearly an ax to grind there, and it labored so heavily on the ad hominems, and painting Bill McDonough as a buffoon that it is easy to dismiss away what could and should be a legitimate, and now twice stated as totally acceptable for the slow readers, take on McDonough's words and deeds and impact that are indeed worthy of much discussion and yes, much criticism.  and intersting that you call me a sexist, and know nothing of my gender.  working with whatever your wrong assumptions are, those are pretty retrtograde gender politics on your part, no?
     
    and anotherID
     
    shall we revisit some pithy comments from you?
     
    "Lawyers and neo-classical economists at the bottom of the sea would be a great start."
     
    and
     
    "All elected officials practice social engineering."
     
    and
     
    "Hubris is eventually punished even in today's society."
     
    as worthy discourse?  really?  that's it?
     
     pretty sure you dont know much about much, so zip it.  'k?

  • C2C

    ignoring for a second the merits, both pro and con, of making C2C open source, are we to really take anything hatchet-woman Danielle Sacks writes about with a straight face?  she so clearly was acting like a jilted girlfriend in the last piece that it was beyond hard to take some of the valid and legitimate critiques of the man and his work seriously because they were buried beneath all her ad hominem issues.On Dutch call on green guru to open up cradle-to-cradle certification posted 9 months ago 5 Responses

  • Joe the DBag

    or is it Joe the Plumber?

    get a grip dude.  jeebus.

    ignoring for a moment that "clean coal" is a billion(s) dollar subsidy-dependent and hungry boondoggle; does not have a single proven, field tested technology in place; and that there are already better and most cost-effective ways to generate kWh in a less carbon intense way; and the American Council for Clean Coal Electricity's $50M advertising blitz the past year to pick the pockets of taxpayers, I guess we are all just suprised to now learn that "Nothing just "cleanly" appears."  stunning news that.

    drop the the strawman "logic" and sophistry of "We'll all live in caves and not burn wood to cook our food or to keep warm either."  not one is saying that, and it is really easy to ignore your bloviating nonsense when that is the best offered to the conversation.On Coen brothers shoot an ad busting the 'clean coal' myth posted 9 months ago 36 Responses

  • Jackson? ugh

    The Lisa Jackson pick is a disaster in the making.  Corzine himself said that she is "a very hard worker" but that she struggled mightily to help NJDEP "fulfill its mission."  EPA needs leadership and vision, not someone whose calling card is a willingness to burn the midnight oil but seemed incapable of overseeing an agency a fraction the size of EPA.  rough seas ahead for sure.On Obama's green administration picks signal major shifts in policy posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago 6 Responses

    "So, if a city that has already made massive investments in "mass transit" cannot survive without the car, then it must be a needed technology."

    what?!?

    the "massive" investments in transit pale next to the massive subsidies in the form of roads and highways.  

    "The valuation simply reflects that making cars is now a commodity process.   We know the technology so well, and can make them so efficiently, that the amount of capital involved
    is trivial (not so labor)."

    when Crysler and Ford are losing $1000 for each car sold and GM losing several hundred dollars that is not due solely to labor costs - it is also engineering and design and and other capitcal based costs.  so, hard to fathom that capital is trivial when losses like that keep mounting.  i know the industry likes to blame labor, but that seems hard to buy.

    and GM's Vice Chairman Bob Lutz claims new CAFE standards will cost $6000 per car to implement, which dwarfs the $1000 dollars GM claims health care benefits adds to the cost of a car. that $6000 cant possibly be labor costs and cars can't possibly be made "efficiently" if a modest bump in CAFE facilitates such a cost spike per car(ignoring that over history, the auto industry has always cried wolf over cost)On Mattel worth more than GM on strong outlook for Matchbox, Hot Wheels cars posted 1 year, 4 months ago 4 Responses

  • What?

    "Taking money out of people's 401k plans is hardly "saving the planet"."

    huh? what?

    but back to google, I think given that their massive data facility in Oregon on the Columbia River is going to need 103MW of electricity to operate by 2011, these other things are at best gestures.On Google Checkout maps the spread of donations and Earth Day lovin' posted 1 year, 7 months ago 2 Responses
