Description (excerpt):
Facts are the enemy of truth, warned Miguel de Cervantes in a notable book about the danger of windmills. That is probably the best summary of what is going on in the current election campaign when any candidate turns to energy policy. And think kindly of Cervantes’ hero, “The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote de la Mancha.” He did, after all, make clear his opposition to windmills, and was no more a reality denier than a candidate who promises $2.50 per gallon gasoline within a year of moving into the White House.
