It's Not Easy Being Green

My favorite magazine has the wonderful title of "The Economist". The website is www.economist.com Actually it is a British news magazine something like Time or Newsweek. (With one exception, unlike Time or Newsweek you are unlikely to read about where is Anna Nicole Smith's body in The Economist.) The reporters for The Economist are anonymous, only when they retire do they get a byline. The Economist now has a blog, Free Exchange which like the magazine has some interesting articles.

Recently there has been controversy over Al Gore's house. It seems that Mr. Gore uses more electricity in a month than the average family in a year, which is a tad inconsistent with reducing global warming. Free exchange weighs in on the controversy pointing out unintended consequences of trying to be "carbon neutral". Here is the post.
