6. I think that what makes this a hit piece is...

that it makes some observations along the lines of "hey not every environment-driven solution works out as perfectly as advertised" and then pushes a theme that environmental concern is all baloney. As pointed out above, the actual truth of these observations varies too.

Sort of analogous to arguments like "hey we all pay a lot of money in taxes, and sometimes your tax dollars pay for stuff you don't like, so clearly the solution is to elect Ron Paul and abolish the IRS."
