Reddit mentions of Energy Freedom

I've come to expect a few things out of drill-baby-drill articles:

• No discussion of how expensive it will be to extract and process of the exciting new find
  
• No discussion, or at best a dismissive hand-wave, of any environment concerns. This applies to both local environmental damage and hazards, and the release of pollutants into the atmopshere, especially but not limited to greenhouse gases.
  
• A mischaracterization of how dependent we are on Middle Eastern oil.
  
• A further mischaracterization of what effect the new play will have on our dependence on Middle Eastern oil.
  
• There is rarely a discussion of the anticipated production curve of the play.
  
• At least one really stupid platitude. In this case: "Clearly there is no energy shortage."
  
  For some reason, though, I usually expect the author to have at least a modicum of competence in the field. Or respectability. Or sanity. But sadly, not our Marita Noon:
  
  > Marita Noon is the executive director for Energy Makes America Great, Inc. and the companion educational organization, the Citizens Alliance for Responsible Energy (CARE). Readers of Maritas previous books, including best sellers, Wired That Way and Communication Plus, know her as Marita Littauer.
  
  As Marita Littauer, she has enjoyed quite a career as an author of Christian self-help books for women, many of which appear... delightful.
  
  She also has a company via which "she has trained thousands of talented Christians in the mastery of communication.".
  
  But what she really is, after all that, is an entrepeneur who's making money by running a front group for oil, gas and coal companies. She's not very honest, either.
  
  As far as it's possible to tell, she has no background whatsoever in energy, economics or (of course) environmental studies. She was writing Christian self-help books and charging (probably a lot) people to learn how to be better Christian communicators, and them bam, she's an energy policy expert.
  
  Thanks for wasting my time, OP. It took me that long to figure out that this really should have just come out on PRNewsWire.
