A reader drew my attention to this:
Or as the official Harrah's Entertainment press release reads:
"There have been more than 100 major conservation projects across Harrah's properties, from installing energy efficient indoor and outdoor lighting to reducing water consumption by hundreds of millions of gallons every year. In the past six years, the company has spent $60 million on energy conservation projects alone, averting more than 230 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually ... Harrah's is the only major casino entertainment company to join EPA's Climate Leaders and Waste Wise programs, and the only company in the industry to win an EPA Environmental Quality Award."
Congratulations. Here's wishing that other casino companies follow Harrah's lead vis-a-vis Team Earth and other energy-saving, sustainable-development initiatives. However ...
... $10 million a year for energy conservation isn't even "a blimp on the radar" when it comes to Harrah's gargantuan annual budget. Heck, it's less than 2/3 of CEO Gary Loveman's compensation package for 2008 alone. Also, the message rings just a teensy bit hollow when it's delivered by a CEO who not only insists on living in Massachusetts -- and can become quite belligerent when the subject is raised -- but must therefore commute to and from Harrah's HQ by transcontinental jet. Kinda undercuts that energy-conservation thing, y'know.
