I’ve been thinking about all the money that the US and Europe in particular are throwing at bailing out banks and carmakers. Why isn’t this money (trillions) being put toward sustainable future industries.
I’ve often thought that if these car companies constantly need subsidies to continue, how are they even profitable? To be viable only through subsidies does not sound like a successful business to me.
I thought I’d do a post on renewable energy today, as part of us starting to add a “solutions” (hope) element to our posts. So today I’m concentrating predominantly on solar and wind because we can deploy these technologies now.
I am seriously stoked on Obama. Not only is he going to save our snow seasons (indirectly), he is going to save the world. Or, at least actually try. The last two years have seen a marked turnaround in leadership, especially in the US and Australia – 2 countries that could be badly affected by global warming and climate change.
