The really inconvenient truth: real price of our energy

A different take"Economics and business have a notoriously short-sighted, narrow-minded set of considerations. Haven?t we just re-learned that ancient lesson from the hedge funder corruption and the phoney mortgage miasma?"What lesson did you learn?

Lawsuit alert: carbon wars are set to begin
