The guy in charge of Environment (!) liked to have the windows open wide in his private office with aircons going full blast (about 15KW right there!). That combo of fresh tropical air with the slight frisson of arctic chill was just superb! That's part of how I became in due course an enviro insultant, and then somehow my client base (UN-family, Borld Wank, ADB, the other usual suspects) dried up. But for awhile I did land the occasional insultancy because there was zero institutional memory installed across those agencies. I was a resident enviro consultant for a UNDP outpost in SE Asia.

At work, I have to endure "green" initiatives and email updates about "green" goals achieved. On TV, commercials pushing "green" products and achievement are very prevalent. I fear that we as a country have crossed the threshold and have bought into this environmental drivel. I fear that we will permit legislation that focuses on a problem that I don't think exists. Cap & Trade seems unlikely at this point, but something else damaging to the economy is still possible. I hope we can avoid it.
