Returning from the U.K. after another week of glorious weather (Global warming will make Merry Olde England quite more habitable, of course), I’d like to think I’ve seen the future of the debate in the U.S. over a low-carbon or zero-carbon future, and it’s as confusing as one could ever imagine.

The world’s largest new green building, the 3,000-room, $1.9 billion Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas received its LEED Silver rating and certificate in March. The huge resort is more than four times bigger than any other LEED-certified building, according to the US Green Building Council, which presented developer Las Vegas Sands Corp. with a LEED plaque at a recent awards ceremony. Coming soon, the Las Vegas City Center project, when completed in 2009, will boast the largest development of LEED Silver-certified projects, some 17 million sq.ft. (1.58 million sq.m.), representing some $7 billion of investment. As most of you know, everything in Las Vegas is on grand scale, now even green buildings. (In fairness, I should point out that the Chicago Merchandise Mart late last year received a LEED-EB Silver certification, making it the largest LEED project ever, at about 4.2 million square feet.)
