Clean Technology, Renewable Energy, and Sustainability as Sound Engines for Economic Growth

Its a little ironic that the word greenback or just green has been used as a slang word for The U.S. dollar. All of this green you speak of cost green, lots of green. If its suppose to be so good for us then why is it priced in a range that is well above what the majority can afford. Most of them would have to go into debt to "go green."
Green is just another marketing ploy like so many others before it. Its a means to an end for the wealthy to stay wealthy. Unless of course you know somebody thats giving it away for free, then we can talk turkey.
Did you know that at one time it was considered that the American wild turkey was to be the national bird? Imagine that, a wild turkey on the U.S. dollar instead of a wild eagle. Seems to me if we humans are supposedly of a higher order than the creatures we call wild, why aren't they trying to sell each other green. What your calling green I call baloney. The only ones that can afford it are the ones with the same mind set that created the problems in the wild environment that prompted a concern and negated the need for green.
I remember an article that blamed the poor people of India for its air pollution saying it was coming from them burning cow dung. Of course it did not mention the millions of automobiles whizzing by every day all day or the jet planes taking off and landing or, well I guess you get the picture. There must be a whole lot of poor people burning dung in India to not just keep up with all that modern day pollution but surpass it.
You want to save the planet Earth? The answer is simple, give up all this machinery that pollutes. Sure, billions of people will die but, it would seem to me that the only reason for those "excessive" billions is to generate revenues for the wealthy class. Think about one state and all of the school bus's moving kids to and from school everyday and how much fossil fuel that burns not to mention fossil fuel for heating is burned and how much coal is burned to supply electricity, just in one state, and what is the real reason for it all? The true bottom line? To produce taxpayers that create a flow of revenues to fund government and armed services that... What is it all for anyway? To keep us from becoming enslaved by tyranny? An elected legislature can cripple a mans right just as easily as any tyrant. Especially when the "good of all" outweighs the needs of the few. But go ahead, keep "buying" into it all. Time will eventually tell right from wrong. I just hope we 6.5 billion human beings don't destroy Earth and its wild creatures while chasing after that dollar like mindless automatons.

And here I was thinking it was to save the planet Earth.
Whatever it takes to sell it, right Shaguf? It should be even easier now that the news media has scared the heck out of everybody by making statements like "the U.S. government failed to pass the bailout bill." That to me sounds like making the news, not reporting it. But we all know how that turned out. Everbody got a few days of news media propaganda, enough to get really scared, and then the U.S. government voted again and low and behold, it passed.
