But I guess if your idea of long term thinking is measured in your life time and not your grandchildrens then carry on sticking your head in the sand and hoping that our large increases in greenhouse gases won't do much. No on knows for sure but its a big risk to take.

I think that should have been done like 100 yrs ago. Heck of a lot more absurd/wasteful than using a plasma, IMO.
come to think of that, ANY event which uses a ridiculous amount of energy for celebrating stuff like that should go with it. Times square NYE tree included.
