Saving the Planet With Plan B 2.0

postedby ericnguyen on March22nd,2006 tagged doomsaying, economics, fuck you big oil, technology

There are lots of good nuggets in this Wired article on getting business to internalize the costs of environmental damage. Here’s my favorite:

“Socialism collapsed because it did not allow the market to tell the economic truth. Capitalism may collapse because it does not allow the market to tell the ecological truth.” - Oystein (Exxon’s former vice president for Norway and the North Sea)

Check out the article. All the sound bites you want on development in China and India, too.
