Talk:Whole Earth Discipline

criticism section needs work

I'm a fan of "Criticism" sections-- and also a fan of the book "Whole Earth Discipline", by the way-- and I think this particular collection of "Criticism" needs to be expanded somewhat. There are some very sketchy remarks tacked on that aren't terribly coherent... what is this about defending a climate denier, and so on?

I also don't think this section does a terribly good job of representing the state of the debate between Amory Lovins and Stewart Brand. In the text of the book, Brand cites Lovins as the main source of the opinion that nuclear power is too expensive. The fact that Amory Lovins has continued to repeat that he believes it's too expensive doesn't really count as a criticism of the book, not unless Lovin's addressed what he thinks Brand got wrong in the book. Did he?
