The 10 Dumbest Green Buildings on Earth
 
Kinda funny article that gives examples of buildings built with green methods, but are used for the exact opposite reasons. I love the LEED certified gas station lol.

I showed this to the Wife and we both agree that those buildings would be built and operated anyway, so since they're that much greener, then that's that much better (or less worse, actually). Now, if suddenly everyone agreed that such-and-such buildings, less green or more, are still beside the point and we're not going to build/use them any more, then that would be just great :) But I doubt it's going to happen, since there will always be people ready to waste our resources and not even give it a second thought. "Because I can afford it" is what they say, [censored].

Timberlake's golf course - I loved the comment. This list reminds me of Al Gore's energy-guzzling mansion, and a few other buildings which got wide media coverage because they "went green", ie installed a small PV system. Save, man, save! It's not only about where your energy comes from, it's about how you use it. Respect the Earth and all of it's inhabitants.

I agree, its a good that they did go green. Its just humorous and ironic. :)
