Copenhagen and green jobs

I am so excited to follow the Copenhagen climate talks and to see what transpires at the conclusion of the summit.  With the recent revelations of emails leaking information  undercutting the evidence of anthropogenic climate change, I look forward to new interactions regarding climate change without drama.  Whether you feel strongly about global warming or just passionate about green building this is an event to remember. 

Our current administration is committed to creating green jobs, a key topic at Copenhagen, but it seems that the United States isn’t leading the way.  China and most of Europe are poised to embrace green as a way to expand new industries and create new jobs by developing new technology based on wind, solar, nuclear and low-emission energy.  We need strong leadership to get the US moving towards tackling our energy issues sooner rather than later.  This should include changing the thinking focused on global warming towards more thoughts on economics.
