The big plan for the Democratic National Convention this year was to go green and offset all their carbon by using green power and buying carbon offsets. Well it mostly working with only a few glitch's. This was in the
Rocky Mountain News just the other day.
The Wray wind turbine, a mile south of downtown Wray, is one of four projects that will benefit from carbon offsets purchased by DNC delegates. The turbine generates 20 percent of Wray's electric power.
Face the State, a Web site that follows politics in Colorado, reported this week that a wind turbine in Wray has not been able to produce electricity since it was erected in February because of a faulty converter .
Whoops!
Then to add to their troubles and Denver's, we find that the DNC has been getting
tax free gas from the state.
They quickly
pulled the plug on that deal once it became known to the city council.
The government...got to watch'em all the time!
