Questionaire is just as bogus as the goracle.

It asks “what % of your electricity comes from clean, renewable sources such as solar and wind?”

Conspicuously missing from this formulation is hydropower, which is equally clean and renewable, but has the disadvantage of actually existing in meaningful quantities.

Then you have wonderful things like this:

During today's hearing, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, confronted Stephen Johnson, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with a threatening e-mail from a group of which EPA is currently a member. The e-mail threatens to "destroy" the career of a climate skeptic. Michael T. Eckhart, president of the environmental group the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), wrote in an email on July 13, 2007 to Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI): "It is my intention to destroy your career as a liar. If you produce one more editorial against climate change, I will launch a campaign against your professional integrity. I will call you a liar and charlatan to the Harvard community of which you and I are members. I will call you out as a man who has been bought by Corporate America. Go ahead, guy. Take me on." In a July 16, Washington Times article, Eckhart confirmed that he did indeed write the email.

Wonderful people, those AGW supporters eh?

They also forgot to ask how many squares of toilet paper you use per session…

I went green in the early ’70s, lived in a log cabin without electricity, and used nothing but wood stoves for heating and cooking, and hitch-hiked everywhere (as Arianna Huffington says about her travels on other people’s private jets “They were going there anyway”). I don’t have the slightest idea how much CO2 I added to the atmosphere, but trees need CO2 to live, so burn an old tree to grow a new one!

Since it is a family site, by asking the number of people in the household, it should list more than one vehicle; I don’t have to drive my F-150 that much, but my darling bride puts a lot of miles on the Mustang

Gotcha beat, ST…I checked in with 30.7!!! I must have a Tyrannosaurus-Rat sized footprint.

Primarily, it’s from all those road trips. At least I don’t use a private jet for them. I notice THAT question wasn’t on there anyplace…

I expect the Inquisitioners from the First Church of Global Warming and Discount Carbon Credits Outlet will be trying to hunt me down now. Bring it on.
