Meanwhile, Mayor Bloomberg, also in Copenhagen, appeared bullish about developing wind power in New York after touring the world’s largest wind farm off Denmark’s coast.
About 20 percent of Denmark’s power comes from wind. Bloomberg noted that Con Edison and the Long Island Power Authority are planning to develop a wind farm about 15 miles off the Rockaway Peninsula.
Aside from producing zero pollution, the mayor marveled that the Danish wind farms were so beautiful that they could pass for public art, even invoking the name of Icelandic sculptor Olafur Eliasson.
“It’s pretty hard to find any reason against it,” he said.
But Bloomberg got snippy when asked about flying over to Copenhagen on his carbon-spewing private jet.
“One small amount of carbon can get me here,” Bloomberg said. “How did you get here? Do you have any real questions?”
Well, Mr. Mayor, there's rowboats and conference calling. They don't make much carbon do they?
