Yes, that exposed the main "swindle" part.  It also showed the hypocrisy 
of environmentalists expecting suffering third worlders to forego 
industrial development while they continue to enjoy the benefits of 
cheap electricity.  Having watched Al Gore's movie just a few days ago, 
I found myself better persuaded by these naysayers.  -- Thomas
