The Public Square Radio Broadcast - How Green is Charlie?
America’s number one green governor has a
little problem.
To be fair and respectful to an elected
governor—let me state up front: Governor Charlie Crist of Florida has the
right to believe whatever he wants about global warming. Governor Crist has
become a Global Warming Crusader. He is working hard to reconstruct Florida
law and policy to fit his agenda. He is the tag team partner of Governor
Schwarzenegger. Together these governors match up well with Al Gore.
Only problem is, the Governor likes a warm
pool and a very cool home. In Florida that means a lot of energy is being
used to heat his pool and keep the Governor’s Residence so cold it is called
a meat cooler.
The hypocrisy is not really the point. We
are all hypocrites at some point where our beliefs don’t match our conduct.
The bigger problem for the Governor is this—if he really believes people
cause global climate change then there is a lot more bad news ahead for
Florida. Every citizen of Florida depends on air conditioning for survival.
Without air conditioning, Florida would be mostly undeveloped swampland.
If the Governor is really being honest with
his science and agenda he has to come out of the meat cooler and tell
everyone in Florida, there are very difficult days ahead. Not only is the
state a billion dollars behind in revenue, with housing dropping off the
map, and taxes and insurance rates out of control—but its time to shut off
the air conditioning.
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
