The Libertarian Party of the U.S. has an interesting blog post about Obama’s inaugural carbon footprint.
Even though Obama proposes job-destroying tax hikes on employers who emit carbon dioxide, the Institute for Liberty reports his $170 million inauguration had a total “carbon footprint” of 575,000,000 pounds.
According to the EPA, the average American coal-fired power plant produces 10,237,509,070 pounds of CO2 per year. That’s 112,191,880 pounds of CO2 every four days.
Compare that 112,191,880 pounds of CO2 produced by a job-and-energy producing power plant in four days with the 575,000,000 pounds of CO2 produced by Obama, who promised on the campaign trail to “bankrupt the coal industry,” and his supporters.
