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!
