Please anyone who believes Park City resort is actually doing anything noble by buying 13.9 renewable energy credits is extremely gullible. Anyone with half an education can do some homework on energy credits or carbon credits and see it is the biggest scam in the world. A lot of these carbon credits are purchased in Africa and then the Africans who sell them just laugh in scorn and the gullible Americans who somehow think they are doing something noble by "buying" an energy credit. The first time I realized this was a complete hoax was when I heard the Oscars went completely "green". Well really they just bought some useless pat my self on the back carbon credits in Africa that were useless. Just do some quick research on carbon credits.

I do applaud Park City Resort for the lightbulbs, goats, and refigeration though. Really that is great.

But don't insult our intelligence by pretending that "buying" some worthless energy credit or carbon credit is actually doing anything positive at all for our environment.
