Ted Turner at the Clinton Global Initiative
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 09.26.07
Media mogul Ted Turner, in a working session on energy and climate change, said that global warming is the biggest thing to happen to us, short of getting bombed by the Russians. God bless 'im.
One of solar power's more visible cheerleaders of late, Turner invested several million dollars last year in the New Jersey-based DT Solar. He also created a holding company, Turner Renewable Energy, and has said that he plans to start lobbying lawmakers in Washington to promote solar power and address climate change.
Better keep an eye on those durn Ruskies, though, Ted.
Update: When asked for his final thoughts, Turner waved and said, "Hi Mom."

Money he doubtless received from gubbermint subsidies. Turner is sleaze.
Oh come on everybody. As soon as any business leader tries to engage in this issue, they are immediately shot down. When is the world going to realize that the climate change crisis is something that will call for a whole new range of public-private partnerships. It's time for the two sides to start working together surely. It's too important to snipe at these people.
