"The jet that Pelosi has produces 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide an hour, far more than the previous speaker used," said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C.To give you an idea of how much 10,000 pounds (five tons) of CO2 is I checked this handy little website. Five tons is the amount CO2 produced by an automobile in a year if it drives 15,000 miles at 32 mpg.
Maybe instead of flying back to the West Coast all the time she could just bunk over at Sen. Edwards'. I hear he has the room.
