My kind of environmentalism

STANFORD OVSHINSKY I don't ask for, when I introduce a brand new thing, I never ask for taking a vote. We offer solutions here to what people think are the most serious problems right now -- pollution, climate change, and wars over oil. As well as building new industries. So I think if you want to change the world, this is a better way than making political speeches.

ISAAC BERZIN Exactly, so that's one of the reasons we think it's going to catch. Because if you want to make an environmental revolution, you have two ways. OK, one way is take stones and throw stones on the bad guys. Another way is, look guys, let's make more money. Yes, it's environmental, but let's make money. So it's making a more efficient use of the current infrastructure of power production in this country.

Alan Alda has a great show on PBS called Scientific American Frontiers. It is available online as streaming video. This is the transcript of the episode Hydrogen Hopes, from which I've quoted above.

I think Stan and Isaac have got it exactly right. If you care about the environment you should make it profitable for others to care about it, not impose costs on them or throw stones at them. I wish people invested more of their money and resources into such intiatives than in destructive environmental posturing, such as Greencursepeace.

Are any Indian firms into environmental/fuel innovation?
