Isn't changing the subject the favorite left tactic when cornered?
Actually I think both sides are guilty of that. I did take some time to lookup some facts about this and here's what I came up with. I know you'll appreciate them JB.
First, the
Fox News article. I had to read it several times but his spokesperson does offer some explanation.
So this is how I understand it...
Some of his power comes from the
TVA which has what they call their
Green Power Switch. For the balance of energy his home consumes he calculates the number of tons of carbon emissions and pays money based on that to Carbon Credit Programs. Here's a
few. I just learned of this today but what it boils down to is investing an amount of capital into planting trees and renewable energy (IE business) based on how much carbon emissions you're responsible for. In addition to that he's using florescent lighting and installing solar panels. In the context of his residence it appears to me as if he does walk the walk. He does a heck of a lot more than me (not saying much).
Like you said before JB, it's easy enough to find stuff to talk about without making stuff up.
How about his big suburban and jet? I don't have an answer to that. Those still sound like fair game to me.
