The Green Challenge

Can you name 1 pureplay green company? I'm waiting, still waiting, OK you give up. You probably named GE, Shell, or IBM but these companies aren't setup as green pureplays. I’m a huge fan of green companies. I wrote my senior thesis in college on greener automobiles. I think this will be the sector where it’s at for investing, jobs, and the next Steve Jobs’ of the world. People continuously fight over green projects and it always seems to bother me. There is only planet that is habitable so why are we ruining it by polluting and stopping measures that are good for everyone? We created the problem so we can fix it.

These companies are small and will be the next Googles and Microsofts. There is a ton of information on the Internet. Use it to invest, attend trade shows, find a job, learn how “hypermile”, change your lightbulbs, or sound cool at drinks tonight. Everybody in this town has the next great actor, next great voice, next great movie, next great show, or next great restaraunt. Here's some links to help you learn a bit more about my favorite "passion project":
