Which Green Stocks Will Be the Last Standing?

"Why should China listen to the US on the environment.

We were happy to pollute like mad (see 1960s, 1970s) when it was convenient to our growth and now we dictate to India and China they should not do what we do? Are we that holier than thou? Its hypocritical."

When we polluted in the 60's and 70's, we were blocking the sun and impeding global warming. Maybe it is their turn to cool the Earth. Maybe it will counter our trying to melt glaciers. It was the 70's when the US government started the push to produce more CO2 and less particulates. We are still stuck in this mode while trying cut back with the other hand. What are we doing besides inventing means to make money out of nothing? There are no resources left on the Earth, so we make air a resource. The current situation reminds me of an old "Three Stooges" movie, but I can't remember the name. Can someone help?

Fuel Cells as Renewable Power?

Asmj - How do you know that the CO2 from fossil fuels is not absorbed by plantlife? Landfill gas, biomass and biogas also exhaust GHG when used. The only part of energy that can be renewable is CO2. The rest is dispersed and lost.

Sustainable Energy After the Correction

This may come as a shock, but in the 1980's Exxon said that there was a need to look into global warming and for investment into alternative energies. Unfortuately, oil dropped to $10. No companies could could afford to invest in alternative energy and the politicians backed out of their campaign promises to develop alternative energy and eliminate our dependency on foreign oil. Deja Vu. This same thing will happen right after election day.
