Correction, this quote is not "Paraphrased" but is a direct quote with words replaced to produce a totally different meaning:
Mainstream environmentalists tend to overstate the cost of inaction, understate the cost of action, rely too heavily on models that account
poorly for the effects of cost on human behavior, and possess a love of
command-and-control regulation and public investment that ignores the failures such approaches have had in the past. Obviously you don't want
to make climate/energy policy divorced from the counsel of environmentalists,
but I'd prefer they not be in charge -- I'd rather it be run by people
who are smart about technology, business, efficiency, politics, or some
combination thereof.
Comments?
