September 12, 2008 · Print This Article
New York Times columnist and author Thomas Friedman appeared on “Meet the Press” earlier this week to discuss the need for ‘energy revolution’. Friedman is currently on a book tour in support of Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How it Can Renew America. Friedman discusses the need for competitive, innovative work in alternative energy across the world to get things back on the right track.
“ET, energy technology, is going to be the next IT. The next great industrial revolution. And I’m a big believer that which country dominates that economic revolution, that industry, is going to have the most security, the most respect, the most competitive industry, and the most healthy population. I want that to be our country.”
Friedman makes a number of excellent points. Green can lead this country into a golden age of productivity and happiness. Let’s hope that more people begin to realize how important energy technology really is to the future of America and the world.
