The Low Carbon Economy

The low carbon economy is just getting started. I think a cap and trade system is the best way to address climate change. I am really impressed with the actions taken by the ten states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, a.k.a Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) + the Canadian provinces, a.k.a Western Climate Initiative, which I think are innovative steps in the right direction. Greening creates massive opportunities in practically every part of the economy.

National Debt Clock

Since the National Debt Clock in New York has run out of digits to record US government's spiralling figure, perhaps signs of the time for the American economy, it would be interesting to go to www.publicdebt.ustreas.gov for the latest update.

PlanetSolar

PlanetSolar teams plan to circumnavigate the globe in a solar boat to inform + educate the general public the importance of renewable energy technology is simply brilliant.

Gomorrah

Matteo Garrone's 'Gomorrah', based on the best-selling 2006 book by journalist Roberto Saviano, is a great Italian movie on Camorra's underworld in Naples. A masterpiece + must-see!
