Top 10 Emerging Green Trends of 2009

Thanks for the excellent review.

Major corporate involvement is certainly crucial to the rapid conversion of our energy system and savings through increased efficiency. Government grants attract the attention of corporations, large and small. Seems to me that is what we need.

Cheap, clean energy is key to our survival. Key to providing jobs for the next generation. Key to helping American corporations prosper.

We can't afford to keep importing oil. Coal has many problems including fouling water which people need to live. Mountain top removal has made the properties people have cherished for generations virtually uninhabitable. This makes the price too high. Someday we will have to pay to clean up the mess and then the real cost of coal will be apparent.

The Economic Impact of the G20 Ending Oil Subsidies

Thanks for a very interesting article. As usual jerrydd makes essential points. We have to end our addiction to oil. The ANWR will not make any difference. It has been used as a red herring by the last administration. We have unlimited free clean energy to harness. We already have the necessary technology. We can make changes to the way we do things.
There is no silver bullet; the success of our transition depends upon multiple sources. But continued dependence upon oil is poison. I received both oil and natural gas money, but the future of our country is way more important.
We must stop putting a millstone (incredible debt levels) around the necks of our grandchildren. Business as usual will turn this country into a second rate power and lead to a much lower standard living. The military can not save us from our own folly.
Disclosure: long oil and gas and royalties in both.
