The TH Interview: Van Jones—The Green Collar Economy (Part Two)
by Jacob Gordon, Nashville, TN 
on 11. 6.08
We can’t drill and burn our way out of our economic and ecological ills, but we can invent and invest our way out, says the author of The Green Collar Economy and founder of Green for All. In part two of our conversation with Van Jones, we talk greentech, politics, “eco-apartheid,” and (of course) his vision for a green economy. “The green Keynesians are going to win,” says Van Jones.

It is good to hear that more and more people are speaking about the idea that the energy crisis and economic crisis we face can be confronted as one problem.
With the election of Obama it makes me happy that we actually have leadership that may be part of the solution rather than an obstacle to action.
The challenges that face the world, require action on all fronts and I really like that places like treehugger are helping lead the way by building the discussion and spreading knowledge about such a necessary movement to change the world for the better.
Keep up the good work!
