Crazy buzzwords.

I just skimmed http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/24/1637247.
In short: "Santa Coloma de Gramanet has installed 462 solar panels over its multi-story mausoleums in the cemetery. The installation cost 720,000 euros (£608,000) but will keep about 62 tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere every year."

This is plain crazy - mentioning meaningless reduction of harmless carbon dioxide emission at such a huge cost. And I wonder how many CO2 was produced when assembling this installation...

I'm all for renewables, but this reasoning is crazy.
