Well, some folks are just slow learners, I suppose.

Joltin’ Joe Romm — living proof that one doesn’t swear off ideological activism, even extremism, when accepting a Ph.D. — can’t stop himself from drawing attention to the Enron thing, oblivious to the fact that company’s stain is actually on his and his movement’s blouse, not on those who challenged the disgraced company that invented the global-warming industry. (Greenpeace-ex Jeremy Leggett in his book The Carbon War correctly identified promiscuous Enron as “the company most responsible for sparking the greenhouse civil war in the hydrocarbon business.”)

Here we see Romm attack various parties, desperately tossing “Enron” in the air for the fourth time.

What makes this noteworthy is that one target of his ad Romminem, Rob Bradley, has unearthed new Romm-to-Enron memos indicating that Dr. Joe was, in effect, an unpaid consultant and external enabler of Enron’s most fraudulent division.

Reading these revelations, and being a former Enron employee myself (if ever so briefly, having opened my mouth about their scheming in Week One), I thank Joe for bringing up Enron again. So now that we’re on the topic: did Romm know about Enron’s “mark-to-model” method of faking profits and energy savings? After all, he says in a memo quoted by Bradley: “I have had many discussions with EES’s senior staff.” (I doubt that Joe was talking them out of underwriting the global warming industry.)

Romm’s tragic love for Enron might have something to do with his bias for cap-and-trade, which is so strong that he even declares war on James Hansen in two posts (here and here) at Climate Progress. Hansen’s sin is to warn that corporations (a la Enron) will take over and ruin carbon-mitigation schemes.

I can’t help but hear the playground taunt “stop hitting yourself” when reading these inane ad Romminem tantrums. But they certainly do provide teachable moments.
