Thom Yorke of Radiohead is so ticked off by the "ridiculous" use of energy in rock tours that he's threatening to stay close to home if things don't get greener. "The way that tours are structured now and the way it works is a ridiculous consumption of energy ... I would consider refusing to tour on environmental grounds, if nothing started happening to change the way the touring operates." His concerns? The air travel, of course, but also the emissions generated by fans traveling to the concerts. While Coldplay and the Rolling Stones do carbon offsets to cancel their emissions, Radiohead is "not convinced" that's any good. (It's surely better than nothing!) [GT]
