Heck, most of the green stuff that is available actually saves people money (light bulbs more efficient, etc).
Turning "being green" into some horrible thing is arguably one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. But there are sheep who do as they are told and will continue to do so.

This is the most worrisome aspect. Completely absurd. It's the inability to see that climate change is a seperate issue to all the stinking hippy treehugger movements of the last 50 years. And even then. Fuck climate change.. Everyone's crying about something that might affect us in 50 or 100 years time but ignoring peak oil which
A. will affect us much, much sooner and
B. Will kill three birds with one stone.. If we can develop clean technology NOW we don't have to worry about $300 barrel oil and the economic effects, kissing Saudi ass when we should be turning them into glass and global warming because there will be no emissions..
Unlike climate change EVERYONE agrees we're running out of oil, it's just a matter of time and whether you're a doomer or an optimist. Climate change is a sideshow.
But anyways.. if you're sensible you'll stop arguing on a message board and go an invest in oil exploration and services stocks and maybe a few hundred hectares of Canadian permafrost ;)
