Ted Turner has an embarrassing amount of gas. Embarrassing, that is, for an "environmentalist."
"The media mogul gives millions to environmental and conservation causes, but finds himself in the awkward position of having to drill more gas wells on his pristine wilderness ranch in New Mexico," the New York Post reported today in an article headlined "Ted sacrifices green goals for greenbacks."
"Having to"? More like wanting to.
"Some environmentalists have been on the warpath in Washington, D.C., for months to control gas exploration in his area and along the eastern face of the Rocky Mountains."
Now that energy prices are soaring, Turner is already doubling the number of gas wells to 1,060 on his Vermejo Park Ranch, which is three-quarters of the size of Rhode Island and contains billions of dollars in coal and methane.
Jane Fonda's jet-setting ex prides himself on his supposedly green ways. One of those tactics: hiding those awful drilling rigs behind trees, according to the Post.
Apparently if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
Perhaps the tycoon's beloved United Nations could protect his pristine wilderness by declaring it an "international biosphere reserve."
Do as I say and not as I do......
He is so "green"

Well he lost his biggist supply of GAS when jane moved on.
So ofcourse he had to drill for more LOL.

why?

I think the lesson here is: don't claim to be an environmentalist and then go out and drill for oil in the wilderness.
Much better to just keep your mouth shut and go drill.
-
I've seen oil rigs. What does a natural gas rig look like?
-
Basically the same.

I hear Turner is on Kerry's short list for veep...
With a ticket that would simultaniousaly cover every possible constituancy and both sides of every issue, how could they ever lose?

No you mean it sounds like DO preach about the environment while driving an SUV. Etc.
Nitpickey? Sure. But if all ya's seem to have up your sleeve is semantics, ya might as well learn it some.
When the actual record is indefensible, this sort of floundering is getting embarrasing to watch. Mmmkay?
