You're already read all aout it: how Douglas scammed some out of state enviro group to rate him in the top ten for green governors, based on the Governors' own websites rather than on critical analysis of actual results based on policies and procedures established by the various governors during their respective tenures. That's right: I guess it was too much trouble for Geenopia to do  their own research, so what better place to find out what a great job Douglas has been doing for the environment than Governor Douglas?

Fortunately, the folks at Greenopia have had no shortage of comments pointing out just how off base this rating is, including this one:

“This is from a Bizarro universe right?  . . . Good news for you – your “ranking” reveals how well you researched him and set your criteria. You probably rank SVUs as green because they have big windows that can open to cool occupants and not use A/C.”

Well, there's good news this morning. Douglas has just taken another step to prove how supportive he is of environmental protection. He's  appealing the decision of the Environmental Court invalidating a permit issued to Montpelier's sewer plant because the state had failed to do a proper analysis of phosphorus pollution in Lake Champlain.

Yes, rather than spend effort and money to actually clean up the lake, he's decided that a better use of state resources is to make sure that more pollution can be allowed to flow from the state's wastewater treatment plants into the lake. 

Hmm. Maybe when they said he was a green governor they were talking about the algae in the lake.
