wow, thats funny. i wonder if they got Innovation Credits for artificially changing the weather patterns, shutting down 100+ factories, or forcing 1 million cars off the road...

why is the u.s. gov't awarding a LEED cert. to a chinese building?

and Henry Paulson? not exactly a champion of energy conservation and "green building"
