From Glenn Beck's Common Sense:
As always, the hypocrisy is loudest in Washington. In 2007, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced with great fanfare that Congress was "going green" by replacing twelve thousand incandescent lightbulbs...Trees would be planted and carbon offsets purchased.
What you didn't see in her press conference was the carbon-belching Capitol Power Plant that burns more than seventeen thousand tons of coal each year. The plant's proud owner? None other than the United States Congress.
...plans for a carbon-neutral guilt-free Congress died an uncereomonious death. Congress will no longer purchase carbon credits. No reason was given for the change...
Common sense tells us that the simpletons running our government should have learned from their own failed two-year experiment with carbon credits...[but] In the same month that they abandoned carbon credits, Congress introduced a 648-page bill that could effectively impose the carbon-credit scheme on every American business.
