I think Krivit's "New Energy Times" web site name should be renamed to something like "Krivit Investigates", or something to that effect. A title like "Krivit Investigates" would be a much more accurate description of what it actually is that Mr. Krivit performs. It would also be a more honorable presentation of himself to his readers.
The title "New Energy Times" tends to give an impression to innocent/uninformed readers that NET is an organization that "employs" numerous investigators and journalist - like a real news room. Granted, IMO, Krivit will occasionally tap into the investigative/editorial skills of individuals he trusts, or at least thinks he can keep a handle on. Others have contributed to NET. I have contributed. However, it is clear to me, based on my own experience, as a former NET BoD, that NET is a one-man band. There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing from one's own personal POV concerning investigations into various subjects, especially controversial issues. Look at the Best Sellers list. People LOVE to read about the personal view points of others. Readers love to read about what it specifically was that they personally experienced that ultimately caused the writer to arrive at the conclusions they profess in their writings. IMO, Krivit should do something like that. I don't think it would be a breach of privacy for me to say that Krivit told me on more than one occasion that he could write a book about his personal experiences concerning the interactions he experienced with various individuals within the CF community, and the CF community itself. I think Krivit should do just that. I think Krivit would be far more in his own element if he simply revealed how various interactions he had with various individuals had personally affected his on-going evolving perceptions of them.
