This is why greenies are so pleased with the improvement of Detroit's carbon footprint over the past few years while conveniently not mentioning the fact that displaced and unemployed people burn less energy and that idle factories don't consume energy.  

Greenies realize that wind and solar power (regardless of their arguments) will never be robust enough to support the population that we have. So, while Plan A is to kill all non-green energy production, Plan B is to create a population size that can be solely supported by what they deem is green energy.
