Are green jobs a myth? The guy who thinks so uses smart meters & electricians as an example. Can solar business make it in a place like Pittsburgh? Also in the GreenRoom: Oregon is copying the efforts of the world’s #1 solar country (Germany) step by step; a slide show of “surprising” home energy hogs; the Senator who thinks climate change a hoax speaks; and – are trains greener than trucks?

What do environmental costs do the world’s ‘Top 3,000’ companies? Try $2.2 trillion annually. On the other end: A $99,000 house is not only affordable, but also sustainable. Also in the GreenRoom: Tips on buying CFLs; projected huge terawatt-hour savings from using LEDs & OLEDs; a wind turbine training video; an energy storage briefing; and a look at whether LEED buildings can be decertified.
