A free Tesla Roadster can be yours when you buy a green luxury home on the outskirts of Paris, so what are you waiting for?  Welcome to France, a real-estate company for the uber-rich, is offering the high-end electric car with the purchase of one of their soon-to-be-built, ecologically designed homes, which boast solar panels, geothermal energy and a water treatment facility.  All you have to do is fly your private helicopter to the landing pad, play a few rounds of golf on the estate’s exclusive course and cruise off into the sunset in your brand new Tesla, because you deserve it, you big environmental hero, you.

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t turn down a free Tesla, and I’m eager to see more electric cars at all levels, but something tells me this extravagant development will hardly be a boon for the planet.  The “green” homes will likely be purchased to assuage the eco-guilt of someone who owns multiple palaces, globe-trots on private jets and has a carbon footprint the size of the hole in the ozone.  I suppose if they’re going to be built, they might as well lessen the impact, but surely the “environmental” escapades of the elite could be done on a smaller scale.  End rant.
