[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 116079, member: 17165"] Hey [USER=18421]@rogerd123[/USER], Thank you for this. I will check out this article now! I really like how you noticed the author's connection to the industry. You are absolutely right that this potentially undermines the impartiality (and therefore the power) of the article's argument. Although, remember in an interview, you shouldn't discount an article [I]solely[/I] because an author has some affiliation which [I]might[/I] influence their point of view. This [B]is[/B] a great point to mention in an interview though (even to say, if you don't have access to the internet during the interview, "I would be interested to know the background of the author who wrote this article"). Where do you think the line is between a 'fair' and 'unfair' windfall? I will check out the Guardian article now too. Interesting that the government now have said they will pursue a windfall tax. I wonder what impact this might have (if any) on the industry's willingness to transition to green energy. Ad hoc taxes like this arguably set a worrying precedent which undermines the private sector's ability to invest and plan proactively for the future... [/QUOTE]
