Are you Green?, HA! Options

HA, I have to share this....

I was in the back of my building doing a few tweaks to my race car Papa Smurf. Running it up and down, etc. (2.2 high compression 6 cyl engine, headers to megaphones...) Then I went over to the 69 911 and had to change the piece of cardboard underneath because it's soaked in oil (next project). I was on the phone with another guy regarding my street 914 "Huey" and the fact that it's running very rich and needs some carb adjustments....

So I come back to my computer and get a spam email asking "Are you Green? How is your Carbon Footprint?"

Uh....kind of like Bigfoot's....

funny you should mention "carbon credits"
Duke Power here in NC runs a lot of coal burning power plants - HUGE carbon footprint I suppose.

So, in order for them to be carbon compliant, they must purchase carbon credits - i.e. pay off the government for their emissions, but not actually do anything about them. The amount of credits they are going to have to pay for will then be passed on to their customers obviously.

They have estimated that each users power bill will increase 75% if the plan is imposed as currently stated.

That's one hell of a way to help and economic recovery. My electric bill in the summer months is already $300 +/- per month, so now they want to add another $225 to that? And do we get cleaner air AT ALL????

Nope....
