If you are like me, you take pleasure in the puncturing of anyone's self-righteous hypocrisy. If you are like me you take enormous pleasure if that self-righteous hypocrisy is environmentalism. Via Greenie Watch comes this Opinion Journal commentary about over the top environmental construction.

These houses aren't just ridiculous; they're monuments to sanctimony. If architecture is frozen music, these places are congealed piety, demonstrating with embarrassing concreteness the glaring hypocrisy of upper-class environmentalism. The sad thing is that, by pouring so much money into ostentatious eco-design, the people who built homes like this have purchased status at the cost of doing some real environmental good.
