I don't care if he ran the article by 15 nutritionists and 40 doctors, all of them would be wrong.
As for getting energy.....sure, you can get it from carbs...you can also get energy from fat, and gasp...even protein.
Problem is that not everyone is the same, so generically saying that its impossible to keep your energy levels up while eating a low-carb diet is ridiculous.
I can do heavy lifting sessions on 30g of carbs per day, but the next guy might need 100g.

Well... this guy is pretty much the leader in nutritional information in the military and furthermore, most of his information is directly from the again, the Surgeon General of Canada who has access to the best studies in the country and in the world.
As for my personal experience, carbs ARE as important as protein and natural fats as a source of energy, as this guy explains, its all about when you intake said carbs, fats and proteins to get the best results in various activities. All activities may require tweaking of the intake amounts and time periods.
So... pretty much your credit went right out the window with
"Sorry, he lost me right when he said that carbs were as important to building muscle as protein was."
and
"I don't care if he ran the article by 15 nutritionists and 40 doctors, all of them would be wrong."
wow, thats pretty arrogant.
