HotAir just posted a link to the Weasel Zippers article link that I posted above. It's a great story and, like the phoniness of recycling, it needs to become common knowledge:
Green doesn't work unless it makes economic sense. Period. If it requires subsidies, tax credits, etc. then it does not work. If you don't get paid to do it then it does not work. If there isn't a reasonable return on investment then it does not work. And most of all, if there is not a market demand for it then it does not work.
