He takes the same "it's easy" tack when explaining how people can green their homes. He then describes what he's done at his own home, which, he fails to mention, is a 12,000-square-foot mansion for which he bulldozed an existing house to build. He planted 200 trees on his property, installed geothermal heat, solar panels, etc. Sounds great. Most people can't blow $5 million on green energy trinkets around the house, however. Not that I have a problem with him choosing to outfit his house this way; he can spend his wife's fortune any way he wants. But he'd be well-advised to reduce his associated sanctimony when it comes to green energy.
