What is this about powering 'em with wind-energy?

C-2: (2008_11_05) Yep - that did happen in 2002 - wind powered Christmas Lights. Unfortunately, nobody volunteered to pay for it in 2003 or 2004 ... but I decided to ante up myself for 2005 and then subsequent years. If nothing else, the environmentally correct folks should appreciate that. And along those lines, I decided to take it to the next step and purchase a Carbon Offset for the electricity consumed (even though it already comes from a "clean" source). So while that 2 MegaWatt-Hours includes non-Christmas related stuff, I punched that number into the Carbon Counter and got 1.13 tons of CO2. And then I made a donation to CarbonFund.org (transaction #VSHJ0C6297A2-350607) to cover twice that. In 2008, it was transaction #56283 and they Email'ed me a spiffy thanks. And while bazillions of people around the world would like to see my lights ON, if you are environmentally inclined, you can help out by turning them OFF!  more
