Green 24

In trivial environmental news, (a specialty of mine), the show "24" is going to make its next season carbon neutral. "We care deeply about this issue at 24 and we wanted to do our own small part to be a part of the solution" - a quote from the executive producer, Howard Gordon. The show is taking the following measures to reduce their carbon footprint:

1) Introducing the use of biodiesel to power generators and production vehicles.
2) Running all on-stage production activities on green energy purchased from the LA department of Water and Power.
3) Integrating fuel-saving and low-emission hybrid vehicles into the production fleet.
4) Having well-known cast members appear in public service announcements concerning global warming.
5) Incorporating global warming into the 24 storyline.

Hmm. Call me skeptical, but those initiatives don't sound like they will make the show carbon neural. And what are they going to do about all the explosions in the show? Hmm, imagine a car explosion powered by wind or solar. Intriguing.
