Shorting the Least Green Companies

Speaking of antiscience religion, I seem to have offended one, judging by the last 7 comments, most of which seem to be reactions to the title, not the content of the article.

I do agree with the more rational commenters above that shorting a stock just because it is no "Green" makes no more sense than buying one just because it is "green." Investing needs to be much more focused than that to be successful.

Airline stocks, however, are probably doomed by peak oil, which is why I am currently shorting them.

What's greener than driving on asphalt? Carpooling on asphalt: it requires a lot less asphalt.
