The notion that carbon investments may be a potential loss for businesses is hopefully one we will see come to fruition. Consumers will shape this green market, and if they are informed and caring and demand the same from businesses, this will spill over to investments that lead the way to growth opportunities that will also lead to a more sustainable planet. This is big.

I liked the article. This was the best part. "Fred Krupp, president of Environmental Defense, argues in his upcoming new book, ``Earth: The Sequel,'' that the search for a technological fix to global warming will produce entire new industries, jobs and private fortunes. " Fred is right on target. Hopefully by 2050 people will be reading in history books how thier grandparents actually used gas to power their cars or burned coal to produce electricity. They will look at us and wonder how we could have been so stupid.

Hopefully they will be reading that we had the moral courage to finally see the destruction we were doing before the tipping point came, otherwise who knows what they will read or what kind of world they will read it in. Of course, that won't happen until we place a price on carbon, and until consumers and investors make it known that carbon is no longer an asset but a liability.
