Check out this post on this report.
Sum up: The Institute for Liberty estimated the carbon emission stats for Inauguration Day. And it would take the average American household about 60,000 years to match the carbon output of Obama’s supercalifrajilistic party.
I’ve been saying all week that in this age of high-def and live satellite feeds, it is ridiculous that between 1 and 2 million people will be going to D.C. to try to “witness” this event. Most of them will not be able to get close access or even see Obama with their own eyes. So what is the point? It’s a collossal waste of time and energy for very little (if any) return.
Every American with a television or an internet connection can stay home and have a “front row seat” to the swearing-in, speeches, poem readings, parades, confetti showers and joyous weeping.
If they can even stand to watch it, which I doubt I can – knowing that at least $75 million in taxpayer funds will be spent on this one-day event.
