Green Police Super Bowl Ad – Truth is Stranger than Fiction?
If only this commercial was a spoof on reality.
Washington DC has a tax on plastic grocery bags. Many, many , many other places have similar laws
In San Francisco people are required by law to compost waste and recycle. Offenders are subject to fines.
The city by the bay also has a ban on plastic water bottles. Other countries are reaching this madness level as well.
Incandescent light bulbs will be phased out in the US starting in 2012. In Europe they already have banned these and are offering money to people to snitch on stores which sell the outlawed bulbs. You will be stuck with those crappy compact flourescent blubs (CFLs) in the near future.
And in this madness, Audi is selling its “green” car. Somehow I am not comforted. And I feel a lot less free.

I will NEVER buy an Audi. Ever. Congrats, Audi–you just lost yourself a huge market share.
I made a mental note to make sure to voice my disapproval of this ad as well. If this is someway of making eco-fascism cute or amusing, I give this ad a FAIL rating.
My wife told me she heard a report that of the stimulus money earmarked for “greeeeen” jobs and projects over 80% has been sent over sees. i.e windmill manufacturers have most critical parts made in China and elsewhere. Sure GE is a US company but they, like so many US corporations, go abroad to train $4/week laborers to build our stuff for us. We hired the Chinese to make solar panels for us and now they are marketing direct at something like 60% of the cost of US made solar panels. Free Trade NOTHIN !!! I say its time to get back to some calculated protectionist trade policy. You hear what those Red-China generals said they should do to the US earlier this week?
