A Nod To The Old School

Environmentally conscientious Southern Californians can nod appreciatively at their Tehachapi and San Gorgonio Pass wind farms; while behind the turbines, just out over their eastern horizon, the cooling towers of nuclear and the 300 meter smokestacks of Navajo and Delta coal keep bright their nights.

Environmentally conscientious San Diegans can drive their Priuses with an aire of superiority; while behind their hybrid engines, a swath of toxic battery fluids manufactured overseas line their oily green hides.

Greenwashing, folks. Expect more of it. Think you're on the cutting edge of environmental stewardship by driving a Prius? Hardly. Your realm is most dependent on old school coal, oil and nuclear.
