Three C's instead of three K's, as in Kolorado Klimate Krisis hypocrisy, but we're firing away.
The hypocrisy? That's on a Dodge Charger. A sports car. AND, not just ANY Dodge Charger, but per the branding fine print?
A police interceptor Dodge Charger.
"Go Carbon Neutral" for thee but not me, eh, Charger guy?
Teh Google indicates the vanity plates (and it IS vanity in this case) go to help fund an organization called the Colorado Carbon Fund.
The license plate part? You order them via donation and certificate to these folks, not directly from the state. (You still pay the state vanity plate fee.) Per the webpage for that, you pledge a "carbon offset donation." But of course! Neoliberal climate change bullshit.
This is going to get better, because the contact email is not with them, but with an org that is, I was first guessing, was National Capture Solutions. But, it's better yet! The "natcap" in the URL, as it loads. says "National CAPITALISM Solutions." Oh, fuck, we're REALLY in the world of Gang Green.
IT was founded by Hunter Lovins, ex-wife of Amory and co-founder with him of the Rocky Mountain Institute. RMI? Full of salvific technologism bullshit for 20 years or more. That includes, per this post, peddling the hydrogen economy. Joe Romm, per my review of his book, called out that bullshit 15 years ago.
Colorado Carbon Fund? Includes the oil-drilling Southern Utes (who belie the "noble savage, environmentally attuned" legend) among its clients.
Folks, this is a greenwashing outfit, with the license plates, like tree planting and other "offsets," being another form of neoliberal carbon indulgences without actual penitence.
