Fight Fallacies with Facts
Posted: March 13, 2008
If you have 40 minutes to spare, listen to this impassioned speech by Assistant Energy Secretary Andy Karsner at the recent National Ethanol Conference:
I mean to tell you, this guy was FIRED UP about the need for combating the misinformation about renewable fuels and he implored the media to get the whole story.
“We invite you to be more investigative,” Karsner said. “Look under the hood, get all the facts, don’t publish things that are sensational for the sake of hard copy or the news item of the moment. Find out what new penetration of biofuels means to this economy, to our security, to our planet.”
That applies to all things agricultural, not just biofuels - like the Good Morning America piece referenced in the previous post. We need to get our story told out there. The mainstream media does not make it easy, but here in the blogosphere is where we can make our voices heard and maybe somebody will listen!
