Michael Shellenberger

The Rebel With a Rolodex.

Shellenberger’s got the polish of a city boy but the backbone of a guy who ain’t afraid to piss off the powers that be. Environmentalist turned truth-seeker, he walked away from the left’s talking points when they stopped making sense and started sounding like control.

He’s pro-nuclear, anti-hysteria, and calls out elitist hypocrisy with surgical precision. Shellenberger isn’t trying to be liked — he’s trying to be right. And that’s something we can respect.

He might not work on a ranch, but he ain’t afraid to kick the stall clean when the barn gets full of bull.

Verdict: SphstRDnck. Common-sense rebel with a spine and a sharp tongue.
