Kudos to Fred...

As in Fredericton, who is now attempting to jump onto the band-wagon of post-Kyoto environmentalism.

Their mayor Brad Woodside is still a bit of a loser, but at least City Hall has put together a decent environmental website. Now, if only they could come to the realization that their summer air-conditioning load is largely supported by NB Power's use of dirty fossil fuels.

Of course, the city of stately elms largely imports its power from dirty-fuel generators that are safely beyond the view of local residents, so Frederictonians can certainly be proud of their nice website, if nothing else.

Not to be picking on the capital city. At least they weren't Quispamsis, which tried to get a government grant in order to send out Christmas LED lights. Quispamsis also happens to have the richest household incomes in New Brunswick, so they can afford to cough up the cash needed to buy Canadian Tire's latest holiday trim.
