but yo0u won't admit it. I find it highly offensive that someone with no engineering credentials thinks they know more than an engineer with bachelors and masters degrees in engineering and more than 40 years of engineering work experience. The attack on expertise is one of the reasons our country is in so much trouble. I have no interest in engaging with you if you won't say your professional credentials. You're continuing to spread pro fossil fuel misinformation.
