Which is better, higher oil costs or investing in green?
Well at least I can agree with Senator Obama on his green policy. Below is copy of a blog text on CNN.com just reported.
(CNN) — According to his campaign, Obama wants to invest $150 billion over the next 10 years to establish a green energy sector; create a national low-carbon fuel standard to ensure that the fuel is more efficient, and invest in clean energies like solar, wind and biodiesel.
That, according to the campaign, would create up to 5 million new green energy jobs.
There are two ways to stimulate green energy, keep oil prices high...or invest in green sectors. While the first is as effective, it is destructive to our economies. The latter is the right way to go in my opinion.
Thoughts anyone?

The quiet period is over now..
Well you 've probably heard about our financing event yesterday, just the beginning of continued path towards the vision enumerated last year. Go to http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ICPR.OB in case you missed it.
These are major institutions that have shown confidence in ICP Solar's business plan and are ready to back us up all the way. With renewed market capture at the consumer charger level, new OEM contracts and entry into the carbon credit segment of the market, ICP is continuing its rehabilitation into the Apple of Solar.
Stay tuned people...with our competition on the run, who knows which announcement may be next!

The price of carbon...
Nobody but nobody can justify to me the current price of oil. What I hear a lot about is the political unsettling news in the Mid East as the prime driver. Sure China and India are now big demand drivers, yet nobody is doing this to the point of tripling the price of oil in a few short years.
So what gives and why do I care?
Basically, its my belief that the price of oil is going to chock our economies. We still don't have enough renewables out there and the cost of transport and anything which uses oil to produce is skyrocketing. How does one increase prices in an economy which is tanking (one million foreclosures in the USA alone!)?
What you see has nothing to do with the cost of carbon either. Its almost taken a back seat and although the cost of fuel now makes renewables affordable, I for one do not believe that these prices are sustainable.
Nevertheless, the political mood is certainly looking more and more favourable for solar and other renewables not based on carbon savings alone, yet now based on real economic advantages.
