Meanwhile, terrorists at home are taking on builders who constructed homes using "Green Building Practices." Once of the best quotes in this article from the New York Times says it all "This is releasing more carbon into the air than they ever would have by building the houses,” Patti Smith, the listing agent for one house that burned to the ground, said of the fires. “That’s the tragic irony.” Here's the link to the entire article http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/us/04homes.html?th&emc=th and a related story in the Rocky Mountain News regarding the legimacy of green building efforts http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/mar/04/green-efforts-genuine-builders-say/
