It is amazing to me how much self-righteousness these guys can work up over stunts that at best do nothing positive, and quite often are a net negative for the environment.

NBC’s green campaign during the Sunday night football game has motivated me: I’m going to save energy by not watching NBC anymore.

Liberals ALWAYS need a self created CRISIS:
“You do know that the parent company of NBC is General Electric, right? You do know that for GE, green is first and foremost the color of money, right? As Tim Carney explains in vivid detail in his wonderful book, “The Big Ripoff,” GE’s “ecomagination” campaign is simultaneously a way to brand itself as a “progressive” company and a means of shaking the money tree - the most sustainable planting of them all - growing in Congress’ backyard.”

The best little gem of the entire week.....
The Rockefeller Christmas tree arrived this week. The hypocrites on the Today show lamented that “to save energy” the tree was cut by hand saws instead of chainsaws wasting all that horrific gasoline......but it was shipped into NY on a flatbed semi truck...
As long as they feel “good” about it is all that matters....

When the global company launched the ecomagination campaign, guess where it held the launch party? Its D.C. lobbying office, of course.
While sipping wine made at a solar-powered winery, GE chief Jeffrey Immelt proclaimed, “Industry cannot solve the problems of the world alone. We need to work in concert with government.”
Translation: The King Kong of the corporate world needs tax breaks, subsidies and favorable regulations to make green technology profitable. Indeed, GE has nearly cornered the market on the solar panels necessary to implement Kyoto-style reforms. Global-warming hysteria is good for its bottom line.
Liberals and environmentalists love to whine about special breaks for corporations, and they work themselves into paroxysms of paranoia about how big corporations propagandize against action on climate change. The reality is exactly the opposite: GE, DuPont, British Petroleum and countless other big corporations routinely propagandize in the other direction, largely to win governmental support they don’t need.

Think how much better the world would be if NBC and it’s affiliates turned off all the lights and went home.

But so long as environmentalists approve of the message, they've got no problem whatsoever with the messengers.
The ends always justifies the means to socialists and intentions are more important than results. It has always been that way throughout history....So what if people have to die or if the exact opposite of the stated intent happens: it's "for the children."
You know this is just one more reason to bring on the fairness doctrine and regulate the Internet....b/c people like you are just trying to ruin everything! (said in best liberal whine)

LOL How much energy do they think the lights are going to use? the twits are probably debating whether or not they should use candles to light the thing. Actually they are probably thinking that the tree shouldn't go up at all...it is oppressive after all!

If they halved the pay for NBC’s top execs they’d actually be doing something. Every item has an energy signature. The less a person spends, the smaller his carbon footprint. NBC tries to play us all for fools.
