    I still have to be a bet skeptical about the verbage. When talking about converting from standard lighting to LEDs, he said they were using less LIGHT and not less ENERGY. That is a big difference when discussing 'being green'. Also, the whole carbon neutral thing is a joke. Al Gore whent carbon neutral, not by using less energy but by writing a bigger check to the energy utility (the same for Evan Almighty).

    So the alternative is for them to shoot the finale emitting as much carbon as possible? Making a difference, however small, still *makes a difference."

    TV, by it's nature (as well as the internet) can never be 'carbon neutral'... it's just a term to make people feel better. All those millions of TV's that will be used to view the 'carbon neutral' finale are going to use up way more energy than the episode could ever hope to produce, just like they do every night.
