"The best way to be green is to change your own activities & lifestyle. A good gauge for a person’s concern for the environment is not their lip-service but instead their actions."

You're cracking me up, 70% of new electrical production last year in this country was from renewables. You're definition of "green" reads like a caricature of Captain planet. There's nothing hypocritical about supporting policies that promote efficiency and building renewables to replace fossil fuel plants. The hypocrites are the ones who think it's smart to invest in a fossil fuel powered future.
