I heard Friedman give a talk last week about his new book and he made some interesting points regarding the "green revolution". His bottom line is that like it or not the world is going to move towards an economy built around environmentally friendly practices. He believes America has an opportunity to be the leader in the new economy and we need to take the bull by the horns and lead rather than sit on the sidelines and watch. He was upbeat and opportunistic rather than histrionic and alarmist (like someone else we know
).
