Clinton Campaign To Go 'Carbon Neutral'
(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON To observe Earth Day on Sunday, Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign said it would become "carbon neutral" to help fight global warming.
"We all must act -- and that includes our campaign," the Democratic front-runner said in a statement Friday.
The campaign said it would take several steps to conserve energy, such as buying 100 percent recycled paper products, installing motion-controlled lights and purchasing carbon offsets through Native Energy, a Vermont-based company that produces renewable energy.
Billy Connelly, a spokesman for Native Energy, said the campaign was providing information on its energy use -- the square footage of its office, aircraft and ground transportation, hotel accommodations and other sources -- and the company calculates the campaign's total "carbon footprint."
The campaign will then purchase offsets -- renewable energy such as methane and wind that could be placed immediately on the energy grid -- to neutralize the carbon emissions the campaign is producing.
Like other presidential contenders, Clinton campaigns extensively in private planes -- a much less energy-efficient mode of travel than flying on a commercial carrier.

Is she going to send ALGORE money for her jet fuel purchases?
I’m waiting for when the campaign goes BS neutral.
But I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Is this foolishness really going to be a campaign issue for ‘08. Oh yes, forget the war on terror and take up the war on weather. We are supposed to be serious about this?

They are also discussing the Mrs Bill Clinton wind farm where they attach a wind turbine to Mrs Bill Clinton’s mouth which provides a never ending flow of wind.

If this means she ceases respiration, then I’m 1000% behind it! :)

The friction produced from her thighs rubbing together could be harnessed an provide power for a small to medium city or township.
OK somone check out Native Energy and see how connected they are to the Clintons. I smell a scam.
There should be an outside auditor to verify all figures and transactions. Between her and Algore, there isn’t a straight player in the room. How would we ever know how without an honest broker?
Doesn't $hrillary produce enough wind-driven methane already?
They can’t be carbon neutral - they’re breathing (unfortunately).
Farting in our generale direction?
“So... Hillary will buy carbon offsets and hope no one notices her campaign will continue to do business as usual. And they say this the smartest woman in the world. Yeah, right.”
Who wants to go into business with me to sell these “carbon credits.”
She will skateboard across the nation.
I think we found the source of the BS...
Seriously, I've seen farmers make methane out of cow manure before. It's hard to support the energy needs of the dairy farm with the amount produced. Seems like this farmer may be milking more than the Holstein cows; seems he's found a productive one in Hillary..
Hillary is already “ Carbon neutral” between the ears.
Hmmmmmm. In my own way of observing the event, I think I will burn some old tires.
