Thanks for posting them...I read your news articles. Thanks for posting them! It's good to know that Native Energy is out there doing some good. I don't pretend to understand how they work -- the articles were talking about Native Energy buying renewable energy credits from the school before the school was generating the energy... does this mean that the school has to pay back Native Energy?<BR/><BR/>My point in my post wasn't necessarily that Native Energy wasn't capable of doing some good in helping to achieve clean energy production and consumption. My point was simply that I don't owe Native Energy a monthly donation simply because I live and breathe. And the idea that certain people owe more to Native Energy than others based on the way they live is ludicrous. (My "carbon footprint," by the way, is considered "below average" based on climatecrisis.net's calculations -- so I'm not up in arms because I want to keep living an excessive lifestyle and feel threatened.)<BR/><BR/>I'll reiterate, too, that I am FOR finding clean energy solutions. I like the air I breathe to be clean... and I think there are plenty of reasons for us to be OFF our foreign oil dependency. I would love to drive a car that ran on vinegar or some other clean natural substance. :-) I actually wouldn't mind driving less and walking more, but I live out in the country and that's not really an option for me. <BR/><BR/>I'm not a rabid anti-environmentalist. But "An Inconvenient Truth" wasn't full of facts and helpful information, but rather propaganda, which leads me to STILL think that it's a convenient scam.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447411908778781942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2004808790563589650.post-91096259618192032892008-02-16T15:20:00.000-05:002008-02-16T15:20:00.000-05:00I thought the same thing, but this answers it:http...I thought the same thing, but this answers it:<BR/><BR/>http://www.foxbusiness.com/article/carbon-offsets-build-wind-turbine-schoolchildren_460371_1.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_8266111<BR/><BR/>-yours in our Lord,<BR/><BR/>Lauren Walker<BR/>CarbondaleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596252641973854141noreply@blogger.com
