A headless blogger writes in to register his offense with this Ken Green comment: ”This is the problem with engineers: their worship of efficiency tends to push out all other values. In other words, they’re just as happy to help a dictator build a better guillotine as they are to build you that bridge you want.”

He continues:

Green shouldn’t let his [spitting] match with Zubrin spill over to taint the rest of us. I work in the commercial nuclear business and am benefiting from the global-warming hysteria, which is causing an increased demand for my services. However, I cannot identify a single colleague who buys the global-warming consensus.I am also opposed to any government intervention in the motor-fuels market to benefit alcohol-adultered gasoline. I’ve been forced to use E10 because my home is in an EPA non-attainment area, and have learned firsthand that it is [an excremental] motor fuel.
Here’s a link to the ethanol and global-warming posts at my blog. And remember: warmer is better.
