NYC is the Most Energy-Efficient City in the Country: Its Mayor is the Least Efficient
The average New Yorker uses one-half to one-third the electricity of other Americans. Our carbon footprints are just 29 percent of people who live outside the five boroughs. …
[Yet,] on a personal level, [Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg] ranks among the worst individual polluters ever to hold public office.
Mr. Bloomberg owns a helicopter and two jets, both Falcon 900s. He flies everywhere on private jets, by far the least efficient form of transportation on or above the earth. He takes his jet to Bermuda many weekends. He has flown around the globe on it. He uses it to go to Washington. He is planning to get to Copenhagen for the climate conference by private jet, too.

Great post. Great photo. I assume that is Bloomberg’s plane.
I suspect Al Gore is worse.
Hey, Larry. If that were my plane I’d be flying it too. The rest of you peons can fly Southwest.
