“It’s Not Easy Being Green”
by Tucker Eskew
April 28th, 2008

So warbled Kermit the Frog many years ago. Wikipedia says the song “is associated with problems with identity,” and I’m sure a few noteworthy conservative conservationists can relate.
Newt Gingrich is one. As my fellow Terra Rossa contributor Whit Ayres pointed out last week, Newt has been feeling the heat for his position on climate [...]

The National Pastime Goes Green
by Whit Ayres
April 16th, 2008

I’ve already paid several visits to Nationals Park, the brand-new baseball stadium in downtown Washington, DC. It’s a state-of-the-art facility, has all the amenities a fan could want in a stadium, and is a great place to watch a game.
What I didn’t know, however, was that it’s also perhaps the most environmentally-friendly stadium in [...]

Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too
by Tucker Eskew
April 8th, 2008

Recently I’ve seen a bunch of news stories like this quoting folks who feel cap & trade is too risky because the technology isn’t yet available to help America meet greenhouse gas emission caps.
Well, that’s not exactly the case. A study published in Science magazine by Princeton University researchers R. Socolow and S. [...]

The Green Capitalist
by Whit Ayres
March 27th, 2008

I wanted to bring to the attention of our readers an illuminating interview that the Wall Street Journal’s Alan Murray and Kimberley Strassel conducted with GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt this week.
In the interview, available here, Mr. Immelt covers a wide variety of energy and environmental topics from a capitalist perspective. It’s fascinating to read his [...]

A Voice of Reason
by Tucker Eskew
March 26th, 2008

One of the most common concerns raised by opponents of cap & trade is it will cost a lot of Americans their jobs. Given folks’ anxiety about the state of our economy today those concerns, whether true or not, have an impact.
I’m not an expert on the economy, though like millions of other entrepreneurial [...]

by Whit Ayres

Even as the Lieberman-Warner bill continues to languish in committee, it has been a big week for proponents of cap-and-trade in the U.S. First, the New York Mercantile Exchange announced that it would start selling futures in a carbon market, joining other U.S. companies like the Chicago Climate Exchange. And in Canada, the [...]

Fix Climate Change, Create Jobs
by Tucker Eskew
March 17th, 2008

Now that’s a powerful message coming from three senior business executives who know a lot about creating jobs.
In a new nationwide TV ad premiering today, three surprising voices join the climate chorus:

Robert Lane, CEO of John Deere,
Alexander M. “Sandy” Cutler, CEO of Eaton Corp., and
Frank Knapp, president of the 5,000-member South Carolina Small Business Chamber [...]

To limit pollution and reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources we should:

Implement a market-based ‘Cap and Trade’ solution
Increase taxes and government subsidies
Buy tickets to see Leo’s latest flop
Do nothing and hope it will get better
Undecided, but we do need to find a solution
