$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('lorenzo', 'N')ow I don't have anything against fiction authors. But if they write their fiction and present it in such a way that weak persons start to change their behavior in dangerous ways because of it, then these macchiavellistic money freaks must be stopped.
What do you think? Should they be prosecuted?
Absolutely. When it is obvious to everyone that bio-fuels are too energy intensive to use as a replacement for oil, I'm going to sue all those people that touted it and made money off of speading those lies. If these guys cause me to not believe in peak oil anymore, and it finally happens. I'm going to be seriously pissed.
If we all continue to live our lifestyles expecting bio-fuels to save us and it doesn't, who is responsible? Are you going to say that it wasn't your fault that I made decisions based on the information you provided?
