...lights go on When customers--here, the NFL--flip the switch, the electricity is delivered, as always, by a local utility. In buying RECs, however, they have helped offset carbon emissions by resupplying the grid with green power...
...pigskin may be brown, but game day is going green. When the stadium lights flick on in Miami Feb. 4 for Super Bowl XLI, the world's most ballyhooed kickoff will be carbon neutral. In the past, the NFL has sponsored tree plantings to offset the hundreds of tons of greenhouse gases emitted during the event--from stadium lights and other fuel burners, like the buses that shuttle spectators around town. This year the league is partnering with alternative-energy provider Sterling Planet to use renewable-energy certificates (RECs) to promote the use of nonpolluting power sources. Lowering emissions...
...Electricity is produced An alternative energy supplier, such as a solar plant, above, or wind farm, generates several dozen megawatts of electricity. Unlike power from fossil fuels, this type of energy produces little to no carbon...
...biofuels such as corn ethanol by 2017. The proposal is solid--to a point. You can't use biofuels without flex-fuel vehicles, and currently there aren't many out there. Plus, manufacturing ethanol is a messy process: smokestack pollution can offset what you save from tailpipes. An overall carbon cap would fix that, but even a greener Bush won't go there. "You dirty up a clean fuel if you manufacture it dirtily," says Sarah Hessenflow Harper, an Environmental Defense analyst and a former agricultural adviser for Senators Sam Brownback and Chuck Hagel...

So, I think we can really say we've achieved something here...
