So why is it that you joined the Green Party if you really don't give a damn about the environment or renewable energy -its namesake?  You're not much of a Green. 

What makes you say that she doesn't care about the environment?

Read her posts, especially the one just above this. 

It's possible to balance financial security with good environmental policies.  It's clear that she doesn't think this is good on either angle.  I don't think that means she doesn't care about the environment.
