I didn't meant to implicate that Comissioner Piebalgs is "stupid" or cognitively diminished in any way. Two years ago he could avoid the problem, not any more.

I also think he is a well informed person on energy matters and understands certain problems like the pointless dash for agro-fuels. This makes his hesitation in putting forward a proper policy even more awkward.

I admire your generosity. A man charged with detailing policies relating to the energy security of europe over the long term denies global warming when it was already an established fact, and you feel it is charming but minor character flaw !!!

We elect these people to do the best for us in the long term, there are situations that require national and trans-national responses and playing 3 wise monkeys and fiddling while Rome burns don't constitute effective policy making.

Like all the neocons in the US who were wrong about everything, they should resign from being invovled in the prediction/decision making game and let in those who were right all along.
