Renewable Now is the business side of green; the place where economics and the environment come happily together. Commerce is not the enemy of Mother Earth. Jobs can co-exists with clean air and oceans. We've found, and reported, on many such great stories of smart growth. We'll find and report on many more.
The question is, will one of those stories be yours? We hope so. We'd be happy to tell it to the world.
Happy 4th for America and a world transforming into green.
The Next Revolution Starts Now
"Revolution is sometimes necessary, if never comfortable. Thomas Jefferson knew this when he and his revolutionary colleagues laid out their grievances before dissolving the bands that connected them with the King of England. We celebrate the success of that revolution every year, and for good reason.
This Fourth of July, a couple hundred years later, there's another revolution afoot, with the potential to shake up the way America does business, interacts with other nations and pursues happiness. "Green" is more than a buzzword. It's a path forward for a great nation seeking to produce its own energy, shore up its security and provide sustainable prosperity for its people.
Jefferson didn't spend a lot of ink on energy policy in the Declaration of Independence, but a selective reading of his "indictments" against the King almost sound like a treatise on sustainability. (At least, the whole argument for untangling ourselves from that rotten King of England is framed as aligning human behavior with natural law and the "powers of the earth.")
So, this Fourth of July, start participating in the next revolution, one that embraces good-old American ingenuity and hard work on the path toward a brighter future for our great nation."
