I've been doing a monthly blog for justmeans.com, a site concerned with business and social issues.
I currently have a posting there titled: "We cannot afford green tech initiatives." I wish it weren't so.
Barak Obama promised tax cuts. I wish it were possible.
Given the war in Iraq, a $700 billion bailout with everyone from General Motors to a Hispanic business group representing plumbing and home-heating specialists seeking bailouts.
VCs are cutting back on spending, so current ventures may run into trouble.
Our Federal deficit and debt are ballooning.
With all that, who can afford green tech initiatives right now, even if they pay off down the road?
Not us.
