In politics, there is a clear pattern where proponents of a certain action or policy wax prolifically about the benefits of their proposal. Similarly, the folks peddling crazy diets on social media or miracle cures for whatever might ail you, the advantages are highlighted in ways that are difficult to match (or find evidence for). In many of the reorganizations that I have been involved in, either as an employee or as a consultant, the pitch always focuses on the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Over the years, I have tried to listen to what is NOT being said. To what is ignored, either intentionally or unintentionally. To the backside of proposals being put forward. The proponents of green energy sing the praises of wind- and solar power but never talk about the negative aspects of these forms of energy, such as killed birds and insects as we tend to build wind power in areas with high winds which birds and insects use for migration. Or the, often dirty, backup power solutions that we need for both solar and wind as these are not reliable and the implications on the grid as power can come from anywhere now. I am in favor of green energy, but think that nuclear is the way to go, at least as the backbone. However, many environmentalists tend to be highly negative on nuclear despite it being the safest, most reliable and lowest impact source of electricity. So, to encourage myself and you, dear reader, focus on what is not being said.
