I think the term "green" is being bastardized just like any other better idea because there is money to be made. For example, it is turning into the same exact thing as the organic movement. Explain to me how organic cheese puffs are healthy and conventional cheese puffs are not? As long as there is a dollar to be made, we'll be hard pressed to find a real solution. That is until there is a dire need. @Mike Goad, I’m with you on this one but I would even take it a step further.

I hope that we are moving away from "green" nuclear and toward green wind, solar, and other "renewable" energy sources. @Mike Goad, I couldn’t agree more.

I cringe every time I hear it used in a slogan or an ad -- most especially when it comes to power production. My entire career was spent in an industry that activist environmentalists ardently opposed -- until recently when some began to view nuclear in a better light since it's carbon emissions are negligible. Now that nuclear is green (cringe) energy, it's okay. ;) .-= Mike Goad´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Exit78/~3/tVpoq6RIcnc/" rel="nofollow">Balcony House and more</a> =-.
