Welcome to Green Dollars and Sense!

“We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency… We have everything we need to get started, save perhaps political will, but political will is a renewable resource.”

– Al Gore, Nobel Lecture, 12/10/2007

Gore was absolutely right. Right now in Washington, DC, lawmakers are sorely lacking the political will to do much of anything about climate change.

But as DC does nothing, there are entrepreneurs and other business people working to find the solutions we’ll need to bring about a clean energy future.

With this blog, I’m going to cover the day-to-day ins and outs of green business and green politics–including climate change legislation, renewable energy companies, energy efficiency efforts, etc. Essentially, I’ll cover all sorts of green dollars and sense issues.

The hope is that by the time I’m sick and tired of blogging, our political leaders will have summoned the political will to tackle the “planetary emergency” Gore has worked so hard to warn us about. And lots of people will have made some “green” in the process.

Enjoy!
