If you are a regular on this site you know that green=good business is a mantra of mine. Well now several established MBA programs are offering the ‘Green MBA’. Visit the ecopreneurist to get the whole story.

For all those who love the random facts and enjoy plying the trade watching Jeopardy. Treehuggerhas a cool rundown of some interesting greennews items from the last little week.

Thisis a great post at jetsongreen about some fairly impressive looking solar powerplants. I am reminded of the Year 2000 project where the America Big-3 put off building greener cars only to be leapfrogged by the Asian automakers. The upshot is that now the Big-3 buy the technology from Toyota, Honda etc… This is the oldest story in economics. The message today is get green or go bankrupt.

Nothing bothers me more than a panel of important people discussing climate change while sipping bottled water. Well Seattle is fighting back. Thanks to groovygreen.com for the info. They also have more on the solar tower.

You probably don’t need an SUV, but you need a place to live. Luckily having a green home not only adds value in the long run but saves money in the short run. The dailygreen.com has more.

I’ve spent time in New Zealand where they tried, and failed, to introduce a methane tax. It got called the ‘fart tax’ because the vast majority of methane is emitted by livestock. Anyway this is a hard nut to crack but the evangelical ecologist has a cool post. I have to admit I have some Hitchens on my bedside table, but where we can all agree, we should concentrate.

One of the biggest and false expectations out there is the idea of a silver bullet to solve our environmental problems. There will be drawbacks to all things. The point is we try them all and choose the best. The Invisible Green Hand has a great post about a possible drawback in the solar power industry. I can’t speak with any direct knowledge on this particular issue, but these things should be put in the larger context. For example, the idea of birds flying into windmills is always trotted out as a reason to oppose wind-farms. But the number of birds that fly into wind-farms is minuscule compared to the number that crash into skyscrapers.

With that, enjoy the weekend. Check out our blogroll on the right for even more great stuff.
