Let's examine this asinine quote more closely.  Gov. Strickland is clearly using the idea of tie-dyed shirts in a pejorative sense.  Yet at the same time he's implying that tie-dyed shirts, a synecdoche for counter-culture in the 60's, and clean energy were at one point connected.  Doesn't that mean tie-dyed shirts have a better track record on this than suits?  Energy efficiency and not polluting the environment never actually made bad economic sense.  Tie-dye got it right and business suits got it wrong.  No one has ever said, "Not giving a shit that your employees work 20-hour days and are miserably poor and hungry is no longer just a business suit kind of idea, it's, like, totally far out, man."

"A greenhouse gas accord signed by 10 Midwest governors in November referred to the region's renewable energy resources like wind, solar and ethanol.

But it also emphasized the region's "extensive and secure coal reserves, combined with extensive geologic reservoirs for storing carbon dioxide."

Oh, I got your carbon dioxide.  I got your carbon dioxide right here.  Store this.
