Online casino web site: Shutting down land-based casinos could help save the world

Global Warming Reduced by Online Casinos, Expert Says
"If we put all of the land-based casinos in the world out of business, including Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Macau, we could reduce our carbon foot-print by several billion units per day", says Claude Alexander, a retired professor and global warming researcher.

"The amount of electricity required to power one Las Vegas casino is beyond belief, the lights, air-conditioning, smoke-filled card rooms, and the jet-fuel to fly-out there; these are legitimate concerns", he added.

When asked how Western lawmakers should handle the situation, "any business that grossly exceeds it carbon footprint and does not provide an essential service should be required to shutdown".

He continued to say, "I am not against online casinos, if someone wishes to gamble in the privacy of their own home, they shall be given the opportunity. Government should not block that right, especially since there is no environmental impact by online casinos and poker
rooms."

Wonder if James Hoggan did this person's PR? As in desmogblog, oddly enough, funded by someone connected to online gambling...

Just curious
