Not green enough? Oregon's Prius (hybrid) tax credit could go as of Jan. 1, but will still issue tax credits for cars that are half coal-powered | GORE LIED
Apparently, the hybrids just aren’t green enough for the Green Governor. And the plug-in electric cars are? Here in Portland, Oregon about 50% of our electricity is generated by hydro, and about 50% is generated by fossil fuels (coal and natural gas), and around 1% is generatated by wind, and other so-called renewable sources. So the plug-in electric cars that will still qualify for the Oregon tax credit will truly be powered by about 50% fossil fuels, 50% hydro, and about 1% wind, etc. I’m not sure the Green Governor really gives a damn about that pesky detail, as he’s likely more concerned about perception than reality

Somebody should tell Energy Secretary Steven Chu that commencement speakers are supposed to give new graduates good advice. His Harvard commencement address last Thursday laid out some pretty poor premises for addressing the challenge of climate change:

PAPUA NEW GUINEAN landowners are being ripped off by conmen travelling village to village offering fake carbon trading deals and promising big returns from "sky money".

The crude carbon trading racket has duped at least 500 villagers since late last year around Popondetta, Oro province, on the north-west coast, an industry insider said.
