So he fixed the problem after he got caught. That sounds more like trying to cover up his problem than doing it right in the first place

What about his flying around in a private jet? What about the additional heat generated by his high electrical usage. That heat doesn't just disappear. Why does the fact that he has extraordinarily high energy usage get excused by using 'green' energy? If I managed to install solar panels capable of generating 50KW of energy and used it to shine searchlights into the sky day and night, that's environmentally acceptable since I'm not burning carbon to do that? How much of that green energy is accounted for by the cap and trade and carbon credits charades?
