While I applaud CNBC for giving your ideas a major media outlet, I still find CNBC to be a hypocritical bunch. Or, perhaps the day shift there just has a different agenda. Whatever the case, their daytime programming shows a distinct leftist, pro-government slant. Just the other day, they had on a guest who went on and on about how China was winning the “green energy war” because America wasn’t pouring enough private capital into green energy. He was quite proud of the billions of dollars of government stimulus the solar industry is getting! Naturally, there was no guest there to explain there might be a perfectly logical reason(s) why American businesses might not want to be investing in such technologies. As another example, CNBC featured a speaker from the Commodity Futures Trading Commision (CFTC) hearings, which dealt with expanding position limits to certain energy speculators. As you probably know, the popular thesis has been that the recent volatility in oil and natural gas prices has been due entirely to rampant speculation, even though there is no credible data whatsoever to support this position. I read the papers from those hearings, and one in particular stood out as being a 3rd grade essay drowning in the middle of a quantum physics symposium. But since the author (Paul Sicio) was an advocate of the “speculators are evil” theory, he was the one CNBC deemed worthy of an interview (unrefuted of course).

Keep up your brilliant work!
