They're desperate to live in the dopey American way.

Yep. 300 million Americans and 1 billion Chinese who collectively arrive at the same decision are "dopey". It's only the author who possesses the savvy to see a better path.

Why don’t we ask those poor souls who had no power for nearly two weeks from the ice storm in the Midwest. Better yet, ask them if THEY give a sh@t!

LOL, as an architect and mall developer, even we are looking at green solutions to new building design. The last developer I worked for had an article written by a local paper in which called us urban land rapists. I had to get a copy of that and had it framed, lol.

"bring on great gobs of global warming."

LOL! That's how we felt when we were in the middle of the ice storm earlier in the month.

I couldn’t care less how green or un-green my neighborhood is.

I ripped out eight trees yesterday. Nobody will give me carbon credits for the other 100, so there.

It was pretty darned green until winter (A.K.A. Global Warming caused by Bush and Haliburton) set in and caused all the trees to drop their leaves. I say we need a new tax to fix this.

Amazing. Seems like it should be fraud or something. Really, how can they do that? Take your money no matter what you do..and the same weenies probably sit around and wonder why more people don't conserve water.

I have no problems with that--in fact, where I live, a little attention to passive solar in design would reduce heating costs 50%. Your customers' customers would all be coming to the mall voluntarily.

OTOH, these folks (from the article) want to force people into their "arcosantis" because that's the way people ought to live.
