That should be enough to make you want to read more. So click on the link and jump over to sustainabuild.

I seldom will go to another site to read a post... if I do, I comment less frequently.

The market will drive "green" building. This is already proving to be the case. As energy costs rise, businesses will adopt more efficient practices because it makes sense. Regulation only causes long term problems, and doesn't push the providers of the technology to be more efficient.

The government is not the answer.

Sorry Lane. I didn't copy and paste the entire thing because it is already cited from another source on that site and it says what it needs to say very well without being paraphrased.
