President Obama is celebrating Earth Day by flying in his jumbo jet down to Florida so he can tour the Everglades.
The 1,836-mile roundtrip will consume 9,180 gallons of fuel on Air Force One, according to CBS White House reporter Mark Knoller. And that’s just the president’s plane.
There will a half-dozen support planes along for the trip, Marine One helicopters, and a 25- to 30-vehicle motorcade belching exhaust into the air.

Happy ERF day, deniers!
Silly, saving the erf only applies to peons. Because the libs are SOOOOOOO much smarter than the peons. Gotta go crank up the hemi and let it idle in the driveway for several hours. And, we put plasic in the regular trash too. :>}
It is not reality that matters to liberals. It is the self righteous feeling the get when they support a liberal cause.
Now the chance for all those imported pythons to do something useful.....
Ping to your comment yesterday.
it’s amazing that the libs don’t see the hypocrisy of this
They totally excuse it as deference to the necessity that the leadership working for the greater good cannot be hampered by the rules they impose on the masses. It’s just one man, after all, and not 300 million people doing it!
That is what gets me.
Don’t these idiots actually see the people telling them to take shorter showers, etc are fling about in private jets and boats.
F the President.
If he *really* cared about the Erf, he ought to dust off the VC-137 (only one is still airworthy)...or get the mothballs out of Truman’s bird...either of those would burn less fuel than the VC-25...
Or, he could use tele-presence (Skype & al); if it’s good enough for business, it ought to be good enough for government.
We live in an apartment...in my town, I don’t even qualify to GET a recycle bin...reserved for people living in single-family homes, &c.
LOL
9,180/18.5=496
So I will use nearly FIVE HUNDRED tanks of gasoline to equal what Valerie's man child will burn TODAY.Thanks. Gotta love the hypocrisy.
Don’t forget all the snarled traffic that occurs, with idling cars wasting gas and polluting. I think he just likes riding around on that big plane! /s
It’s amazing that they don’t bother doing things to save fuel, like teleconferencing. Yes, with today’s internet connection and encryption capabilities, you can remotely present yourself at a remote conference location even from your home. Why libs don’t bother with this, just shows their hypocrisy. People who work for government agencies teleconference quite a bit, so I don’t understand why the top-notch politicians can’t do the same.
Even people in government used encrypted teleworking and teleconferencing. The option is perfectly available to him. IMHO, he just likes the luxury airplane flights with all the amenities that come with it.
Yeah, the Maya thought the same thing, and the few royal individuals constituted the overwhelming majority of all the resource consumption (animals and forest destroyed) so the wealthy elite helped bring down the entire civilization. Yet, in today’s modern times, the elite think about the same as the Mayan royalty did back then.
