Van Jones The Green Collar Economy

Just watched the CSPAN Q and A. Finished his book faster than anything I read over break, although I don't have Fox Soccer Net at school, and sadly I have to pay for the movies I rent too.

But his book was really well written, and his explanations of the technologies and policies that will be needed to pull our country away from dependence on oil, natural gas and coal are clear, and convincing. He's a Oakland based civil rights activist, and a lot of his motivation is based around green jobs to fight poverty, as well as pollution.

The "green collar economy" plan: Electric cars, smart appliances, and a clean, efficient grid.
