Dear Shelter
Explanation Needed
Dear SHELTER,
With high regard for the work of
SHELTER, I offer a challenge to Sam Bell
Steves II, as excerpted below, and specifically
his comment relevant to the [Toyota]
Prius. [“Further, environmentally friendly
cars, like the Prius, consume more energy
to produce than the energy saved through
their operations …”] (see article on page 30
of SHELTER’ S July-August 2008 issue) The
comment is too capricious even for an “editorial
insertion.” Furthermore, it serves no
constructive purpose. It appears to intend
to bias and inflame the reader, perhaps
inciting action. It is noble to attempt to
arouse those who sleep, but such a comment
and method does not help move the
discussion forward.
My challenge is for Mr. Steves II to provide,
in a detailed basis, the scientific data in
support of his inappropriate comment concerning
the Prius. Furthermore, his evidence
should appear in SHELTER! Hopefully he will
set forth a clear, logical and honest presentation
that demonstrates his previously published
conclusion.
Respectfully,
