#1 Anything green is s scam. It's a euphemism for "doesn't work."

And those last few LEED points involve rapidly diminishing returns. They get expensive really fast.

#2 Conservatives shouldn't sweat the 27 million in savings for the Palazzo. Since Sheldon Adelson owns it just imagine that money being funneled directly to Republican election efforts.

#3 Corruption is bad, penguin, even when it 'helps' our side.

#5 I travelled last week when this hit the dead-tree press. Two full days of front page (and secondary pages) of smashing the LEED certification process as a money-making scam. I was shocked that USAT would print such.....

I wonder how many others on travel last week saw this in their hotels/local news stand? Could get interesting for the whole green jobs push as well.
