treehugger.com — Say what you like about Wal-Mart (and I certainly have said some less than flattering things), but sometimes the world?s largest retailer does something undeniably positive: Like make its first major purchase of wind power in the United States.

Of course there's an ulterior motive. It's called a "profit margin", which are, for some reason completely unknown to me, the dirtiest words in American society/culture today.They're following their rational self interest and cutting costs, which will raise income. What is so horrible or "sneaky" about that?Since they are the largest retailer in the world (the next biggest retailer is 3 times smaller than Walmart), whatever Walmart does, the rest of the retail world will try to emulate. This is definitely a step in the right direction.

Last I checked most people are less concerned with how Wal Mart gets its power and more concerned with how they get their products. It's great that they are doing the right thing here but it doesn't excuse their unethical actions in other areas.
