So how do you know what you know - Global Warming edition

According to a Harvard study, in 2009 US Power Plant Greenhouse gas emissions fell 9% from 2008, despite this being a recovery year from a sharp recession. In one year.  Why did this happen? Was it Wind? Solar? Electric cars? Nope. It was shale gas. The one energy technology that was not massively subsidized by Uncle Sugar was the one that delivered a massive green dividend. Imagine that, the energy technology opposed, indeed despised by most Greens delivered the green result.

I'll bet you didn't hear that on CNN, ABC, PBS, NBC, CBS, NYT, Wapo, did you? Of course you didn't. Not convenient, wouldn't be right, doesn't fit the narrative. Can't have the damned oil companies delivering a greener planet, can we?

So once again, all together now: how do you know what you know?
