Yeah, that’s ‘green’ power alright - the green of money. Geeze, why didn’t I think about this? Oh, right, I’ve some values left... Dang it.

You go to a wind farm, you say ‘Hey, I’ll give you a split of what I make if you let me sell the ‘environmental impact’ of your wind farm. You still get the same increased money and kickbacks from the state and feds, plus you get a little creme on the top as well. How about it?’

Meanwhile, company B is selling the ‘wind energy’ that the farm is generating, again giving them a little cream on the top while they’re taking money from the utilities, and the second company is piggybacking on the utility meter charging more for the ‘green’ energy.

I wonder how many times they stack it? It’d be so easy for varied accounting methods to sell the same impact (while at the same time helping the main utility in the area keep up with mandated ‘green energy’ production levels). You think by the end that at this point, probably four people are claiming the same ‘carbon credits’?

What a shell game, and the greenies are eating it up.

This is the biggest load of crap ever.
It’s just like purchasing CO2 “credits”.
Or infidelity credits for that matter.

If these morons want to reduce their “carbon footprint” they would turn off their computers when they’re not using them instead of install some worthless software which is probably really just spyware.

Instead they ought to install the SETI@home software if they want to do something useful while their computers idle.

What idiocy. Everyone knows that man/mammals exhale 99% plus of the CO2. Quit breathing? We should be so lucky. Are there 2 kinds of co2? three kinds? Idiocy!!

This is crazy…. This should be the final proof that any reasonable person needs that the ‘green movement’ is really one giant pyramid scheme… but hey, good for Al he thought of it first, or at least capitalized on peoples stupidity the most. And through some good fashion capitalism has made a ton of money.
