A Stanford professor is deflecting criticism after allegedly deleting data from a year-old study in order to avoid inadvertently showing how green energy will kill millions of long-term jobs.
Prof. Mark Jacobson rebuked criticisms brought by Steve Everley of Energy In Depth, an oil industry-backed education project, that the Stanford study showed that using 100 percent green energy would result in 1.2 million jobs being eliminated from the economy.
Jacobson said Everley’s claim was a “flat out lie” and relied on “faked data.”
Everley’s claim was based on data taken from Jacobson’s own research, but when Everley went back to show the Stanford professor that the proof was in his own study, he found the data was gone — Jacobson had deleted it just hours after Everley exposed the job loss numbers.
“On his website, Dr. Jacobson houses a number of supporting documents for his research on a 100 percent renewables transition, including a Microsoft Excel file that shows everything from assumptions about levelized costs of electricity to jobs estimates and energy demand projections,” Everley wrote Wednesday of Jacobson’s data showing green energy would kill jobs.
“But now the spreadsheet on Dr. Jacobson’s website no longer shows a loss of ‘Net Long Term Jobs,’” Everley wrote. “In fact, the highlighted column has been deleted from the document entirely.”

Surely that data still exists somewhere more than likely some grad or undergrad has a copy of it because most profs and schools have assistantship programs.
shame on him...it's funny how the libs/dems just love to lie. this is almost like Muslims and they way they are taught/encouraged to lie to get the result they want. just an observation...
Sounds more like something that would happen at Berkeley, but it's the tone of today's higher education - cherry pick thee results to support the theory, throw out what you don't like, pretend it's all good, get published, get tenure.
Figures don't lie. Liars figure.
The accusation by Everley and repeated by Bastasch is entirely false, and they are aware it is false yet they still published it. Here are the facts:
1) Every single data point in the spreadsheet used for our published paper is still there and no data used in any way in the paper was ever removed at any time. Any reader can compare the published paper with the spreadsheet to determine this themselves. The published 50-state paper and spreadsheet are both at the 13th line down at
http://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/WWS-50-USState-plans.html
under the title, "100% clean, renewable WWS all-sector energy roadmaps for all 50 United States"
2) Mr. Everley was informed on January 5 that he wrongly used job production test numbers in the spreadsheet, which were used for no purpose other than testing, and were in no way "data" used for the paper. They were akin to random test numbers:

3) In that same message, he was informed of where the correct job production numbers were. Even after being informed, he still used the irrelevant test numbers in his article. The numbers Evereley used had nothing to do with our paper, were never used in our paper, and were never linked to any real numbers in our paper. Anyone can see this themselves by looking in Everley's original article for job production numbers. The numbers Everley used appear nowhere in our paper.
4) When the random test numbers, that Everley improperly abused, were removed, he cried and made a false accusation, claiming that numbers relevant to the study or even part of the study were removed. The numbers removed were extraneous and never part of the study or used in any way, shape, or form for the study, and he was informed of this on January 5. His accusation is a distraction from the fact that he was caught falsifying job numbers from our study:

Green Energy = Lies + higher utility bills = less jobs.
We know the score.
It's OK DOC. The world already knows this is all BS. YOU didn't have to put your career on the line. These libitards are way outta control. Yet these are supposed to be the intelligent ones. LMAO.
And who is talking about 100% green energy? Typical straw man argument!
Green energy Global warming / Climate change are just tools used by the left to weaken America.
