I agree that greenwashing, especially stuff that is this blatant, is really horrible and the fact that they can even get away with it is amazing.

However, it seems like some perspective has been lost on the greenwashing debate. Don't you think that greenwashing is part of the process? The problem with the word 'green' right now is that there is no definition, by uncovering companies that are greenwashing, a definition will gradually emerge. I cited this article in a post on The Green Light Distrikt about the subject. I'd be interested to hear your feedback! http://tiny.cc/Vd5bl

Eh, note his problem with the bill. It's not the bill itself, but the timing. His argument is that this might damage whatever tenuous recovery we might have, something that could be crucial to conservational investments in the future.

I can respect that position. I disagree with it, but I respect it. It's not saying global warming isn't real; it's saying that the current economic problems factor into the debate.

Chevron's green wash is just window dressing. Do people pretend to be green and work hard for the old carbon technologies? People Do.
