Surrender Monkeys "Greening Up" The White House ~ Good Grief!
Pelosi, Democrats Launch 100 Percent Carbon Neutral ‘Green the Capitol Initiative’
Speaker Nancy Pelosi was joined this afternoon by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz in accepting a preliminary report by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the House Daniel Beard on efforts that would reduce the environmental impacts associated with the operations of the House building complex.
The preliminary report on the “Green the Capitol Initiative” was presented by the CAO in response to a March 1 letter by House Democratic leaders requesting the development of such an initiative.
“The environmental challenges we face are as local as our neighborhoods and as global as our planet,” Speaker Pelosi said. “The House must lead by example and it is time for Congress to act on its own carbon footprint. Today, we announce our intention to operate the House in a carbon neutral manner at the earliest possible date with a deadline of the end of this Congress.”
“I commend the CAO on this thoughtful preliminary report on how the House can take steps to operate in a sustainable manner that is more sensitive to the environment,” said Majority Leader Hoyer. “Improving energy efficiency is the most effective first step that any organization can take to make a positive effect on the world we live in and that we leave to our children and grandchildren.”
The recommendations in the CAO’s preliminary report include:
- Operate the House in a Carbon Neutral Manner
- Shift to 100 percent Renewable Electric Power
- Aggressively Improve Energy Efficiency
- Adoption of Sustainable Business Practices
- Continued Leadership on Sustainability Issues
- Offsets to Ensure Carbon Neutral Operations
“Implementing these important first steps signal we are not only doing the right thing, but we are taking steps that will eventually save money,” said Chairwoman Wasserman Schultz. “Through these recommendations we will show not only that these actions are environmentally beneficial, but are fiscally sound.”
Wild Thing's comment..........
Hey, Pelosi, how much carbon dioxide does your taxpayer-provided jet spew? You know, the bigger one you wanted as opposed to the one Hastert used to fly in?
Operate the House in a Carbon Neutral Manner
Does that mean House Democrats plan to stop breathing? One can hope.
Notice their five action items.
- Operate the House in a Carbon Neutral Manner
- Shift to 100 percent Renewable Electric Power
- Aggressively Improve Energy Efficiency
- Adoption of Sustainable Business Practices
- Continued Leadership on Sustainability Issues
- Offsets to Ensure Carbon Neutral Operations
Items 1-4 will never happen. Item 5 will happen because all it takes to implement that is taxpayer money.
These people are so frigging transparent. They will buy the magic carbon indulgence pixi dust, no doubt from campaign contributors, with our money.
GET THE MONEY TO OUR MILITARY YOU IDIOTS.....quit e****** around with this crap.
Here you go............
Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on
their faces. The coroner calls the police to tell them what has happened.
The Coroner tells the Inspector: "First body is a 72 year old Frenchman.
He died of heart failure while with his mistress. Hence the enormous
smile."
"The second body is an Irishman, 25 years of age. He won a thousand
dollars on the lottery and spent it all on whiskey. Died of alcohol
poisoning, hence the smile."
The Inspector asked, "What of the third body?"
"Ah," says the coroner, "This is the most unusual one... Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House, 66, struck by lightning."
"Why is she smiling then?" inquires the Inspector.
"She thought she was having her picture taken."

Our Skreecher of the House - Madame Nancy Pelosi & Meatballs - had perfect timing in conjunction with the birthday of Third Reich Fuhrer Adolf Hitler! The Axis of Weasels: Reid, Pelosi & Byrd?

Conveniently it's Al Gore's company you buy the credits from to become "carbon neutral".

"Does that mean House Democrats plan to stop breathing? One can hope."
Humans are carbon neutral. All the carbon dioxide they put out is balanced by the carbon dioxide taken in by the plants used either to feed them, or to feed the animals that feed them. Conservation of mass.

Surico you must give us the salient features of your hypothesis, otherwise, it makes no sense.
What is renewable Electric Power. Renewable means once it is used it can be recycled. Once the energy used to power a motor or bulb the energy is gond, poof vanished, the work is accomplished. how can you renew that ?
So what can they possibly mean by renewable power, do they mean Solar and Wind, but of course. The big issue here is who is going to pay for this 'Fulton's Folley', but of course the American Tax Payer, who else... You don't expect Ted Kennedy to pay for it.
Why not Nuclear Power, it is a last forever power and best yet no pollution, but we can't do that. The Harry Reids and Algores of the country would rather give away America's wealth to third world countries this is the bottom line to global warming, Make America Pay for her success.

Pelosi shows that the spoiled children of Woodstock have not grown up. It will undoubtably take more money and energy to enact their conservation plans than will ever be saved.
But Hey, it's the taxpayers money. Besides, it will just feel sooooo good doing this. And then there are the bragging rights. Unless the plan turns out to be a failure. Aha, but then we can do the typical Liberal thing when plans fail. Just don't mention it again or deny all knowledge of it.

If she slits her wrists, she can earn herself a lifetime worth of carbon offset credits!
Remember, Nancy, slice down, not across.

Darth, that should be her official name....."General Betrayus". Yes she is all of that.

Lynn, hahahaha love the weeeeeee! you did.

Bob yes and I bet Gore is already counting on all his fingers the money that would be coming in. Thanks
Posted by: Wild Thing at April 21, 2007 12:29 AM
Mark, excellent, thank you.

Tom, Woodstock is right.
They sure don't mind spending and spending tax dollars and then they sure do complain when we want it to go to our Military or Vets too. God forbid they take care of our troops and our Veterans.
