Going Green & Our Economy

Whether it's hybrid, electric, or biofuel, the change to a cleaner & long term future in transportation is coming along. It may have needed a jump start from rising oil & gasoline prices, but the future is here & it looks bright. At first, the few hybrids on the roads only seemed to be taking hold in the "hippie" households. But before long, Toyota was handling backorders on the Prius & they were becoming more & more popular on the roadways. Now it's a difficult task to try and drive to your local supermarket without passing a few of these odd looking vehicles. And this is a good sign, both for our environment & for our economy. You may ask yourself why this is good for toureconomy because yes, Toyota is a foreign auto maker. But this proves that a shift in the auto market is drastically approaching & our American auto makers better get on board. While it took them a while to get the ball rolling, our hometown auto makers are progressively working toward alternative fuel vehicles. This means that while a lull may have currently hit our economy in all sectors, once the ball is up to full speed down the "green" hill, our economy will take off. The American work force is full of smart, intelligent business people who know the future is in cleaner, more fuel efficient vehicles. And I fully expect our economy to show just how bright our citizens & businesses are by being the global leader in all things green. Our economy looks very bleak right now, but hold faith that the world's new found love with the green movement will be the saving grace for our economy. Our cities & states will breath cleaner air while our businesses reap the monetary rewards for their green ideas & innovations.
