Hmmmm. He's onto something. There are plenty of little 1-acre islands all over the Northern California deltas. Now if I could only convince myself that I would actually want to live anywhere near Lodi or Rio Vista...

Last I heard, the Greeks are selling off their island, cheap...you could buy yourself an entire domain...

Build your own island, one load of rocks at a time. :-)

Sounds good but I wonder how long it would be before the State Department decided to spread a little “democracy” to your island.

Put up a token resistance and then get aid to rebuild your island’s infrastructure (including stuff you didn’t have).

Yes, he's spent multiple millions of dollars on wind and solar energy, and produces more energy than he uses. Most of the time. Funny, I wonder how “carbon-neutral” the jet turbine is on his helicopter?
I wonder if he rides his segway near cliffs?

There was a movie a long time ago called “The Mouse That Roared” that had a very small country declare war against the US to do exactly that, rebuild their failing economy.

I guess they forgot to think about the carbon footprint for manufacturing and transporting the wind and solar power gear.

Carbon neutral? With a HELECOPTER? I don’t think so. Also, somebody somewhere uses quite a bit of energy to build all of his stuff, like the wind generators and solar panels. Then to transport it to his little kingdom, doesn’t that use energy? What about his food, clothing, etc? Does he grow all that on his island?

The only people who were carbon neutral were the cave men... before fire.

There were cavemen, and those softer things they used to drag around by their hair. After clubbing them, of course.

They began by dragging them by their feet, but then they discovered the disadvantage of that method.
