Arnold Schwarzenegger is out of office and back in the movies, so he doesn’t have to act like he cares about the environment any more. How else can you explain his recent, $250,000 purchase of the monstrous Mercedes Unimog (photos at the link).
This is the same guy who single-handedly raised Californnia’s Renewable Portfolio Standard to an astonishing 33% just three years ago.
It is just funny to me how all of these environmentalists and politicians want middle and low-income Americans (not to mention Chinese) to pay up and live a lower standard of living by eliminating carbon emissions from their lives, but very few of them are willing to give up the joys of private jets and massive cars.
It’s a small dump truck, though he isn’t objecting to paying more at the pump either.
