Accused of being a ‘green hypocrite’ for using a private jet to fly to
the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit and giving the world a sermon on
global warming, Prince Charles has decided to have his place of
dwelling go green.
The Prince has planned to install solar panels on
roof of the 180 year old mansion, the Clarence House in London. These
panels are anticipated to fulfill the heating and lighting energy needs
of the building. However, officials state that no such modifications
will be done if they harm the appearance of the century old building.
This change would burn a £150,000 hole in the Prince’s pocket. According to Jerry Stokes, president of the firm SunTech
Europe, the Prince is excited and eagerly awaits the installation of
these solar panels that will enable him to do his part to save our
environment. Hopefully, the people of Great Britain look up to this
example set by the Prince, and go green themselves.
