Re: [GBlist] irony alert

GW has already shown signs in his personal life that he is quite
environmentally conscious.  His ranch and home in Crawford are one the most
energy efficient and smart in the entire region.  He attempts to run the
entire ranch with similar efficiency and as low impact to the Earth as
possible.  There have been numerous articles in the Texas media about his
ranch.

This consciousness has yet to manifest itself into public policy.  It had no
visibility here in Texas while he was governor.  Quite curious actually.
