“Impressive”—but apparently not in a good way. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has championed legislation designed to reduce carbon emissions; like many celebrity greenies, however, he does not practice what he preaches.
Like many of the Californians he represents, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger now spends more than three hours commuting because he lives so far from the office.
But his ride is a private jet.
. . .
The commute costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which aides say the governor pays for himself. Some environmentalists say the trips expand his carbon footprint enough to undermine his image as a crusader against global warming, despite the pollution credits he buys to offset the damage.
Gov Terminator Schwarzenegger is simply doing what he has to do in order to be home with his wife and kids in the evening. And he should stop feeling guilty about it: skip the environmental indulgences.
An interview for the news report was conducted during a break from a recent National Governors Association meeting in Washington, DC. Arnold flew there by private jet.
