Is LQC compatible with dark energy?

[skydivephil]

Does LQC have anything to say about dark energy?
Ive heard a few poeple says LQC is inconsistent with dark energy but that seems wrong to me. I think they are confusing it with Tollman ossiclating universes.
As I understand the bounce in LQC only tell us that our universes had a prior contraction phase , I don't see anything that implies we will re-enter that cotnracting phase. If anyone knows differently let me know.
Even if it did say that we need to establilsh that dark eenrgy is a constant to rule it out, which I don't believe has been established yet.

Any thoughts?

In a nutshell, skydivephil, yes!
See a post I made on richarddawkins.net a while back for a summary of my interpretation of LQG-based BH cosmology:

Dark energy is just a black hole feeding!
