Clean, Green Ink



Clarity- Nice story by Jad Mouawad exploring the future of hydrogen-powered vehicles in today’s NY Times. Looks as though big oil is once again hardly cooperating. The cluster concept for rolling out hydrogen fuel stations near high-density cities definitely has merit.

Green Business- The NY Times seems to have embraced clean energy technologies as it rolls out a Business of Green section and blog. There were as many as 10 stories alone today regarding the environment and new clean technologies. Included were stories on solar, electricity generated from cow manure, a possible wind farm proposal to be located 10 miles of the coast of Long Island. Reading all of these stories as a compiled work clearly makes the case for clean energy as leading our future economy.

Ebay Green- Auction giant Ebay has created a sister site, WorldofGood.com to sell goods produced with social and environmental goals in mind. Ebay is looking to create “ethical supply chains” and the prices on this site will be fixed as opposed to auction. Ebay knows good business when it sees it. The Natural Marketing Institute estimates that by 2010, the environmentally friendly goods market, will grow to $420 billion.
