"Green Home Market" Out of Touch with Reality

We have made no secret that we think that the "green" movement is nothing but a bunch of liberal gobbledygook. We support doing things within reason to make the environment better (or at least not make it worse). Key words: within reason. Most things part of the "Green Movement" are not within reason.

On the front page of the Indianapolis Star today is an article entitled "GREEN HOME MARKET GROWS." It is about Carmel area homebuilders making "green homes." What is the price tag of a "green home"?

$920,000!

At that price, everyone should be going green sometime in the 22nd Century.

We won't agree on much in the "Green" movement, but here you are right. Building large new homes in suburbs is not "green" or Green. Renovating empty and old houses in a downtown or ubran area is Green. You can reuse materials already in place, saving energy, you can retrofit materials with more environmentally ones, and best of all you limit urban sprawl. Using the term "Green" is popular right now, but not many people use it correctly, at least as far as the Green Party is concerned.

Thats funny, the only thing really green there is going into the builders pocket
