If he did that, then flew around everywhere telling people to go green, at least I could respect that he had done part of what he is proposing.
And if enough high profile people would do that, it would certainly bring the costs down. Especially solar- where everybody seems to be waiting for the next price reduction.

Apparently he has gone "carbon neutral" through this initiative

Maybe he does other things, who knows?
In any event, I get the psychological satisfaction lashing out at such critics, especially when it's our town's industry that's challenged. But the whole hypocrite line is so tired. Time to retire it, move on.
