Bummer: Even Obama's own Energy Department can't be bothered to take the simple steps that are allegedly necessary to help prevent the allegedly impending CO2-induced fiery floods

Do as I Say, Not as I ... - NYTimes.com

Even as the Energy Department preaches energy conservation and efficiency, it is failing to take advantage of readily available, low-cost opportunities to reduce its energy consumption, the department’s inspector general said in a report released on Tuesday....as with most of the rest of America, energy conservation sometimes seems like goal No. 11 on the Top 10 list of things to get done, judging from the report. The department’s excuses sounded a lot like everybody else’s. One was that because its energy users were not billed directly for usage, “there is little financial incentive to conserve energy.’’ This is a familiar problem in the private sector, where tenants who do not pay a separate electric bill often do not try to reduce their consumption.

Energy Department managers told the auditors it was often difficult to balance their chief mission goals with energy conservation measures, the report said.
