Mr. Sustainable :
May 27, 2008 11:03 AMYou are quite right about this. Debra Chrapaty, Microsoft's top executive in charge of greening the company's data centers, gave an amazing presentation on the subject on May 1.

May 28, 2008 5:35 PMI agree with the first comment. The greed from "big oil" is really going to drive the green revolution. With the high prices of oil, consumers will be left search for alternatives or more efficient sources of energy. I don't like paying $4 for gas, but it is already doing wonders for the environment. I think the use of public transportation is already up by 10-15%.

The rising cost of oil will do more for the "green" movement than any hypocritical screed from a celebrity whose idea of conservation is purchasing carbon offsets. I firmly believe oil will go to $150 per barrel by year-end, and will double again from there within three years. At that price, any energy guzzling device simply becomes too expensive not to replace with a more efficient model.
I published an article that more fully expresses my views and what consumers can do now to prepare for higher oil prices.
