Investing in low-carbon technology is cheaper than Kyoto
The Detroit News
” We should therefore invest on an effective scale in inventing new technology. Contrary to what one would imagine the Kyoto Protocol has not prompted this research. Indeed research investment has plummeted since the 1980s and has not increased since even among Kyoto-participating countries. Investing heavily in research and development of low-carbon energy solar power or other new technologies would become cheaper than fossil fuels much more quickly. Economic estimates show that for every $1 spent we would do $16 worth of good. Every country should agree to spend 0. 05 percent of its gross domestic product on low-carbon energy research and development.

Investing: Thinking through a recovery

And as the economy begins to show signs of recovery he believes investors need to look beyond the ups and downs of today’s market and think about where their money will be down the road. Fortune spoke with Kamen to get a sense of where the market stands today how investors should read it for the future and why people shouldn’t make hasty decisions based on headlines. Q: What’s your opinion of the market right now and what should investors be focusing on? A: Investing by my definition is managing risk. We’re in a market environment where everyone thought the risk was so overwhelming that they went back to being a saver — they just wanted it all back in their piggy bank. No one wants to get burned again but now people are starting to go "Well what happens if this market is real? I don’t want to miss the next leg up because if I miss the next leg up I can’t afford to be on the sidelines yet again. " All the pundits are saying "The market could be going down again because it’s over-baked" so the individual investor is in a quandary right now. Do you get in and buy into a potential fool’s rally?I try to tell people this idea of bull and bear is really a question of time.
