I thought the following clip of Jon Stewart was pretty funny – especially where he describes Obama’s plan to weatherize homes as a snoozefest. I’m not opposed to weatherizing homes, but I’d still like to see a grander, bolder plan for energy independence. Weatherizing homes won’t get us off of oil. It will help, but it’s just a drop in the bucket ultimately.
Look, I’m not a fan of McMansions, but what on earth is the point of burning them down in the name of the environment? Overzealous nutjobs affiliated with the “Earth Liberation Front” just burned down a bunch of “green” luxury homes in a Seattle suburb. OK, ELF morons: Did it ever occur to you that burning down those houses probably hurt the environment just as much as building them did? So your overall net effect with this was to:
a) discourage green developments
b) make environmentalists look like crazy terrorists
c) hurt the environment…because by burning large buildings, you’ve just increased the number of toxic fumes in the air around Seattle and will now force people to demolish and rebuild on that very same spot.
Good job, idiots. Yeah, that was smart thinking on your part – destroying existing homes really helps the environment…umm, I don’t think so. (more…)
