Mojo…the Austin Powers kind, not the little bag of voodoo charms.  We are missing it right now in our country, and the goal of this blog is to chronicle the on-going story of how Green is helping America get it back. 

Millions of  Americans feel like the place we grew up in is on the verge of disappearing…the economy is tanking, our industrial base has fled the country, the middle-class is struggling, we are disliked abroad at unprecedented levels, we have an incoherent energy policy (ok, so that’s not new),we are entering a new cold war with Iran, and we are not leading on global warming.  My most conservative friends and my most liberal, all agree on these points.

There is a simple answer to these challenges;  We have to go Green.

By going green as a nation, we can turn this country back into the America we want it to be.  We can be more prosperous than ever, we can revitalize our manufacturing base, we can create millions of new, good paying jobs, we can improve our standing with our allies and our adversaries, and we can be the leading force in the battle on global warming that the world wants us to be.

This blog is going to be about how the American entrepreneurial spirit and the American marketplace is making that happen.  We have to change things, and we can do it like we always have – by making a ton of money along the way.   I will cheerlead for the government when they do something that is going to help us achieve these goals, and I will probably bitch when they do something stupid, or even worse, don’t do anything.

I will highlight people, products, services and solutions that are making a difference.  When I come across an important insight, I will share it with you.  Occasionally, I may scare you when new scientific data becomes available.  I will also look for, and seek out contributors to this blog, as the more knowledgeable voices that join this conversation, the better off we will all be.

I could probably write a lot more elegant opening to this endeavor, but it is time to start telling the story.  It is one we are all going to participate in.  Let’s go.
