Green is a ripoff
Until this world gets rid of people who have to make money off of everything, there is no reason to try to save energy. $200 for a light bulb? I will be dead by the time that thing pays for itself, forget about saving money on energy!! You people are smoking the trees that your saving. Why would I lease a hybrid if it wont get me the money back in gas that it cost me extra each month on the lease payment.
