I am optimistic regarding the role of the green economy in lifting the US out of the current recession. However, I also have concerns that the green economy may not reach its full potential in that role. One of the primary obstacles as I see it is that many of the green products and technologies that will be at the forefront of the green economy are not American made! While I certainly believe that the green economy will play a substantial role in improving the overall economy, the extent to which that potential is realized still has some very real roadblocks.

Many leaders in the world today are afraid of the transition to a green economy. Just last week European Union members were balking at making a commitment to lowering carbon emissions. In the House of Representatives this week Republicans are balking at making similar commitments. The key to success is that we need to see the glass as half full. There is no doubt that there is pain in change but the opportunities that are derived from change will overcome the pain.

Have to be wary with everyone getting on the green bandwagon – there’s a lot of doubt surrounding which methods/products are truly sustainable and which are just green washing.
