Here’s another example of lefties who extol all things from Al Gore yet it’s more of an attitude ‘as long as it doesn’t apply to me’. Typical leftard rational.

From The Foundry:

As defenders of the free market, The Heritage Foundation fully supports Google’s private sector investments in clean energy technologies. However, there are some troubling nuggets of information buried in today’s New York Times article on Google’s energy interests. Miguel Helft reports:

Google has also increased its lobbying in Washington on energy issues. … Google has gone to great lengths to conceal how much electricity it uses in its data centers. For instance, Google agreed to build a $600 million data center in Oklahoma only after the State Legislature passed a law exempting public utilities from disclosing the energy use of their largest customers. Google has also vowed to be carbon neutral, but unlike its rival Yahoo, for instance, it has refused to reveal its overall carbon emissions.

Just so you understand, Google contends they will be carbon neutral but they will be arbiters of their neutrality. Guess this protects them from the whole Cap and Trade scam of Al Gore. Oh, I forgot, Al Gore owns significant shares of Google stock. Didn’t Google gift this to Gore? Seems to me if the Lieberman energy bill were to pass Google would be subject to reporting their usage so a government bureaucracy could determine their carbon liability. But then Google would probably just buy off the bureaucrat.
