Watching the CRI Sink Into Irrevelancy

Not that they were especially relevant in the first place. Their factually-challenged and ideologically-driven attempts to join the *debate* has largely been a flop, yet we find John Stapleford has been able to get more space at the NJ editorial page to try to sow their confusion to Delawareans.

Watching the CRI Working Hard for Their Climate Change Denier Merit Badge

Required, apparently, for full participation in the Wingularity.

Again, via Tommywonk, we learn that CRI (and their Director of Center for Energy Competitiveness, David T. Stephenson) have been posting up their promised *discussions* of the so-called flawed foundations of Delaware’s Energy policy. There are three new missives today:

In Which We Find the CRI Beginning their Astroturf Campaign In Favor of Dirty Energy

First place to go to get up to speed on this is Tommywonk’s place, where he notes that they are retreating to that tried and true tactic of basically just making shit up.

CRI Needs Crash Course in Math

Today, when CRI and its Republican friends in the General Assembly cite a new study that shows that SB 234 would cost too much and do too little to increase recycling, remember that the figures in the study are pure bullshit, and that the study itself was prepared only for the partisan purpose of killing the bill.

CRI’s Impact on Real People

I’m not going to assign blame to a particular individual for the posting of payroll information. I don’t know if that decision was made by the Director of CRI, board members or the anonymous money men behind the whole thing. But Dave Burris got all bent out of shape for Kavips’ dissection of one of their employees resumes. Dave’s main complaint seemed to be the poisoning of the well for said director in his next job interview.

If a state employee resume comes across a potential employers desk, CRI’s database of payroll data is likely to assist the employer in negotiating salary.
