The Green Capitalist

And I don't mean greenbacks (dollars)!!!

In the sad, devastating and lasting disasters (Japan Nuclear and Deep Water Horizon Gulf of Mexico) that have taken and will take the lives of thousands we have a startling wake-up call to the urgent need to take renewables from the margins of our energy mix to dead (living) centre.

Today regulators around the globe are saying enough is enough.  Coal, oil, and nuclear as we know them today have had their day.  Like the filth that filled Dickens' London's skies from the sweaty coal fueled industrial nightmares of the 19th Century; the mix of coal, oil and nuclear has and continues to pose an ever increasing risk to the sustainability of our planet. 

I do not call for their end today.  Quite frankly that is not an option.  So long as we all cling to modernity.  I for one am not rushing to give up my morning latte or the convenience of a car versus a bike. BUT, I do believe better, more efficient, obviously smarter ways to use our planet stand right before us in the form of wind & solar power; ethanol blended fuels, and efficiency.  If we simply focused on these technologies we would stop the growth of GHG but more importantly we would take a massive degree of health, environmental and safety risks out of our  lives.

So let's get on with it... write to your regulators, the energy company you own stock in, the NGO that sponsors a green clean agenda. 

There has always been money to be made in a paradigm shift.  However not a single buggie whip maker became a car manufacturer...drive change by interrupting the present.
