This video of Van Jones speaking recently at the Clean Energy Summit in the U.S. shows clearly how the Americans, well, at least the Obama administration, "gets it" about the compound returns from investing in clean energy and energy efficiency. Contrast that with the shotgun economic stimulus that the Stephen Harper PMO has been doling out, and the lack of vision in the 2009 federal budget. So I have to say, Yes, we can do better.

This is a very inspiring video. I only wish our leaders would adopt a similar approach to economic recovery. Fight poverty and pollution at once by retrofitting Canada. I am very disappointed that Ignatieff has had so little to say about developing a green economy and instead focuses on oil production.
We are told we can't be leaders on climate change initiatives - we have to be followers of whatever the US decides. Until then, our "Made in Canada" solution is diluted by pollution.
