Peak Oil: China vs. USA

BG: you missed my point, as did fitz.

which is this: if a person can't (or hasn't) learned basic writing skills, then how can i trust his energy conclusions.?

i am definitely no expert in energy. don't claim to be. and wouldn't dare write an article on something i'm so ignorant about.

but i'm sure going to put my trust in someone who shows he has a basic educational foundation, and fitz shows quite the opposite in this article.

he's all over the place, transiting to one non sequitur after the other.

how can i take his conclusions seriously when he has the worst transitions i've seen from someone who is supposed to be a college graduate?

do you understand me now, black gold?

Peak Oil: China vs. USA

it's impossible for me to take seriously anyone trying to convince me of something when that writer could not pass a 10th grade writing class.

how can anyone take seriously an article with so many run-on sentences, grammatical errors, and incongruent transitions?

sorry, but i can't.

try taking a freshman writing course and then get back to me.
