A Revisionist's Review of Scrooge

Old Ebenezer 's "before" personality in Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" has always gotten a bum rap.

I LOVE this passage:

"Moreover, there is also a left-wing environmentalist case for Scrooge, in so far as he minimizes his use of nonrenewable resources and energy sources (e.g. - coal) that create pollution. Thanks to Scrooge, nineteenth century London had more resources and less air pollution!"
