    Nice try, but "green" is more expensive and the economic benefits don't exist yet.

      Going green means going broke. It's why nobody REALLY cares about Al Gore's "Inconvenient" hooey.

      Well, nobody that is, except psychopathic, irrational liberals.

        A while back the 'Gore Defenders' were talking about buying and selling 'Carbon Credits' and that the money was supposed to be used for things like this in the bill of goods they sold to people. Well, where is the money? Why isn't it being put up to help this town go green? Is the 'Carbon Credit' nothing more than a scam?

          living green can work but the idea of an entire town is too much!

            LOL

            France has gone nuclear with their power plants and that is a green technology. Waste from a nuclear plant for a year is the size that fits in a pickup truck. Coal plants will fill a football field. This town ignores that most power in this country comes from fossil fuels. The rest of the things are cost prohibitive. Also ignored is the fact that the program started in the 60's to clean up the air, water, and ground has been very successful.

              Oh no! What good is it if we save the planet and we are all broke?!?!

              As long as we are all rich, who care what happens to this planet, we can just buy another one, right?

              How many hundreds of light years could the next possible inhabitable planet be anyways.

              Im sure we will have enough crude oil left over to get us there.
