Just a total cesspool of stupidity and ignorance. It is what keeps liberals alive and destroying America at an unprecedented rate.

If I purchase a tomatoe plant, can I get a tax credit to offset the “wind” I just generated?

Just a thought, if the dairy in Rockport, PA is getting credit for their methane project, then why can’t we get some kind of credit for the...er...”gas” we all create? Gotta think on this a little more. There must be a angle here somewhere....

A little bit of trivia. “Iron Eyes” Cody, whose crying Indian commercial helped kick off the “environmental movement” in this country, was actually an actor whose real name was Espera de Corti. He was the son of Antonio de Corti and Francesca Salpietra who moved to America from Sicily. The liberals’ envirogig has always been a fraud.

“To date, the average carbon footprints of all delegates from California, Vermont and Nevada have been accounted for through delegate participation in the program.”

Which handily identifies those states as possessing the delegates who are the most gullible, ignorant and moronic.

Give them a prize.

At a media preview of the convention site July 8, Democratic organizers said convention activities like air and ground travel, accommodations and waste will produce an average of 1 ton of CO2 pollution per person.

The discounted prices amount to an average of $12 per ton, which company officials said is the market rate for carbon credits.

twelve bucks will plant enough trees to offset the jet travel? Highly dubious, and I'm sure they have a much higher price for the rest of us when they get this passed.

The offsets specific to the convention have resulted from a number of domestic community-based clean energy projects, including the Wray School District Wind Turbine in Wray, Colo. The utility-scale wind turbine at the site was built in January in reliance on exclusive carbon funding from NativeEnergy.

Sounds good to me.

Sayyyyyy...wait a minute. How do we know this money isn't just going into somebody's pocket?

From the article and the source of the article, it ALMOST sounds like this is a business run by Native Americans. WRONG! This company, as with may others, chooses to name and market itself as if it were owned, led or provided benefit to the Native peoples.

About as close as this company comes to providing a benefit to the Native populations is to loan them money to build alternative energy installations in their community. And, while the PR accounts don’t mention it, I have to believe that the loans must not meet the requirements of other lenders or those lenders (banks, government?) would have provided the funding. In addition, I would anticipate that due to the risk of non-standard loans, this company is probably getting a much higher return on it’s money in those settings compared with other investment options. So the funds from the Native populations get routed to an energy company in New England with a ‘native’ sounding name instead of being available for reinvestment in the local economies - because it’s not like those economies could use any further investment.

But, let’s just pretend that this is by/for the Native people and not ask questions. That’s what the headline reads - everything else is just fluff. Life is much more simple that way.

So Democrats pollute by the thousands and then pay each other to feel better about it. Say three Hail Marys and $12 a ton.

And don't feel guilty about the ribeye and sea bass either, we carbon credited all that too. Your sins have been paid for.

You guys want change? Bend over. Here it comes.

DENVER - Planners of the Democratic National Convention are limiting the party's carbon footprint through a unique partnership with an Indian-focused environmental business.

For every $12 the Democrats donate, one Indian is killed, thereby saving one Indian's lifetime's worth of carbon emissions.

Carbon Credits are People!!!
