While being green can do many things to reduce energy use and cost it will never be the sole answer to our economic woes. Additional regulation will only add to the burden our economy faces. It is amazing how the freemarket itself has begun to correct our excessive driving. We drove 100 billion fewer miles this past year as prices rose and shortages appeared.

We do need to worry about the environment and not get sidetracked by possibility of terrorist attacks and financial meltdowns. If we truly have a capitalist system then the financial mess will take care of itself. The environment won't. Far more money is being poured into the ongoing financial crisis than the original problem demanded. And it isn't finished. The bailout won't cure the financial problems.

The same banks which pushed imprudent mortgages also finance coalmine, deforestation and dam projects which rapidly draw down the planet's capital. And once they have depleted our ecological capital with their dodgy deal, no other planet will bail us out.
