The Porche flap grew out of the national howl that went
up when Denver planned to install several gigantic gas tanks
on his various Colorado properties. He wanted them, he says,
so he could buy gasoline in volume, in part to aid his
Windstar Foundation, an environmental education and
research center, and in part to offer lower gas prices to his
employees. It was a perfectly fine idea, he thought, except
the newspapers reported that the famous energy saver now had
enough gasoline to drive his Porsche around the world twelve
times. The accusation angered the normally mild-mannered
singer, but it forced him to cancel the gas tanks to quell the
public outrage.

Considering the snide tone of the article, it's suprising she gives him credit for anything, or airs his side of these events. But she spells it out, and it makes good sense.

She uses the term "simpleminded" at one point when referring to some of his song lyrics--but that term might be better applied to the visiting troll who presumes that this discussion of Denver reflects the sole musical interest of those participating in the discussion.
