In the bio-markets "Greenies" are getting 4% down 5 million dollar interest free loans to build energy plants that burn up forests and feedstock crops to make "green fuels" that produce more carbon emissions (?) http://www.christopherhaase.com/blog/2008/02/corn-fuel-up-to-423-times-more-carbon.html
Further, the purchasing and developing this land gets them "carbon credits". http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=714488
Oh yeah... not to mention the Billions in AG and fuel subsides they get.
"GREEN" was about helping the environment... now GREEN has become a commodity as much as the markets it drives.
"Greenies get discounts indeed"
