Journalist and policy strategist David Bollier tells us about the idea of the commons; wind energy expert Patrick Quinlan talks about wind power in Massachusetts and how it has become a battleground over competing definitions of the commons; wind developer Dan Juhl talks about community wind power; and historian Kerry Buckley sums up the lessons of our series. Each month, Back To The Future looks at what we can learn from the past, when we used far less fossil fuels than we do today. We explore practices we can adapt as we move toward a lower carbon future. Last month (http://www.cchange.net/2010/02/17/cool-industry-for-a-cooler-planet/), we looked at how water power in Holyoke, Massachusetts helped fuel the industrial revolution in the U.S. and is powering the birth of a green economy in Holyoke. This month we look at how the ancient idea of the commons can be adapted to ensuring the survival of the ecological commons. We also take the case of wind power in Massachusetts to examine how controversy has erupted over conflicting ways people define the common good. David Bollier (http://www.bollier.org/) is a journalist and policy strategist whose work focuses on the politics, economics and culture of the commons.  He's the editor of the web portal and blog OntheCommons.org (http://www.onthecommons.org/ ) and also co-founder of Public Knowledge (http://www.publicknowledge.org/), a public interest group defending the rights of the  intellectual commons in the digital sphere.  Lately he's been thinking about how to establish a international legal framework for protecting the ecological commons. Patrick Quinlan is Associate Director of the Wind Energy Center (http://www.umass.edu/windenergy/)at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. He's been actively involved in wind power and clean technology development since 1982.  He was an advisor to the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy and worked for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the Washington office, serving the Federal wind energy, solar energy, geothermal, and hydrogen technology programs.

Its being ushered in by what she calls "the new financiers"... - Commentator Hazel Henderson (http://www.hazelhenderson.com/) of Ethical Markets Media (http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/) thinks the outline of a new, moral financial system is beginning to rise from the ashes of the old. Its being ushered in by what she calls "the new financiers"... A venture capitalist friend of mine asked me in a recent discussion about the financial meltdown, “who will be the new financiers?” I answered immediately, “the new financiers will be the high-level information brokers. They'll also be the dealmakers in creating the growing green economy.” Media and  information drive markets. But the new financiers are largely invisible to the traditional Wall Streeters and asset managers. That's because information, not money, is the new financiers' prime currency. Not that the new deal-makers don't value money. But they have a different approach to it than the high flyers on Wall Street. They value the role of honest, well-managed currencies that remain tied to the real economy of goods and services. Money is a special kind of information.  When backed by real-world goods and services, money can accurately track and score human ingenuity, productivity and transactions interacting with the natural wealth of resources of our home: Planet Earth. The problem with money is keeping it honest.  From the kings who shaved of the edges of coins to today’s bankers who create our money out of thin air, we humans have found many ways to debase our currencies. Money was invented back around 3,000 BC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money#History_of_money).  It evolved from clay tablets, shells and cows to metal tokens, gold, silver, and today’s paper money and electronic currencies that are blips on millions of financial trading screens. With the Industrial Revolution in Europe, our need to trade and exchange grew exponentially. Our money systems of exchange had to grow, too.  Gold became too constricting – there just wasn’t enough of it. Soon, the lack of gold led governments to issue paper “fiat” currencies backed only by promises and a fraction of actual gold.  Some countries went off the gold stadard entirely (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard#Post-war_international_gold_standard_.281946.E2.80.931971.29), including the USA in 1971. Our current financial crisis goes way beyond earlier recessions and panics caused by the lack of gold or sufficient supplies of credible paper money. Today, the globalization of finance and technology caused money-creation to go wild, leading to a credit bubble and mountains of debt. The money supply surpassed real economic growth. Risk-analysis took a back seat, as bankers ignored real-world conditions. For example, the bets on who might default -- those infamous credit default swaps -- grew to  some $680 trillion dollars of contracts (http://www.bis.org/publ/otc_hy0811.pdf) -- while real global production measures only the $62 trillion of global GDP. Today, central banks are in a frenzy of printing money.  But no amount of ink and paper can print enough new money to close the hole between that $683 trillion of false promises and the world’s real GDP. The only issue is, who will take the hit.  Up to now, the political clout of financial sectors has forced taxpayers to bail out financiers. The blatant unfairness of this has caused huge outcries from outraged citizens.  Those billions given to irresponsible bankers could have financed universal healthcare and college education. I predict this is the end of finance based only on money and fiat currencies, not on the real economy of goods and services. Enter the new financiers and their bringing a new hybrid economic model with them: half the old money-based competition and half information-based sharing, cooperation and exchange.  The rise of Google (http://www.google.com/), e-Bay (http://www.ebay.com/), Microplace (https://www.microplace.com/), Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/), Facebook Bill Baue clean http://www.cchange.net/2009/02/11/envisioning-a-green-economy/ http://www.cchange.net/2009/02/11/envisioning-a-green-economy/#comments Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:22:58 +0000 Bill Baue http://www.cchange.net/?p=550 http://www.cchange.net/2009/02/11/envisioning-a-green-economy/feed/ 0 Clean Tech,Climate Change,economic security,Green Building,green business,green economy,Green Jobs,Green Living,greenbiz,joel makower,john harrington,Obama This week, green business guru Joel Makower encourages us to envision success in creating a clean, sustainable economy that averts climate catastrophe and improves our environment, communities, and lives.  And shareholder activist John Harrington urges... (http://www.cchange.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/joelmakower.jpg) This week, green business guru Joel Makower (http://www.makower.com/) encourages us to envision success in creating a clean, sustainable economy that averts climate catastrophe and improves our environment, communities, and lives.  And shareholder activist John Harrington (http://harringtoninvestments.com/johnharrington.aspx) urges banks bailed out with Troubled Asset Relief Program funding to make sure they stabilize US economic security. Green is the buzzword of the day, when it comes to business and the economy.  But what is a green economy, and how do we distinguish between a coat of green painted on the old, now failing economy -- and a truly clean, sustainable economy?  These are the questions Joel Makower has been asking for decades.  He founded the Green Business Letter in the early 1990s, and then launched GreenBiz.com (http://www.greenbiz.com/) in the early 2000s.  The Associated Press calls him the "guru of green business."  His latest book, (http://www.makower.com/book.html), came out this year.  Joel spoke with Sea Change Radio Co-Host Bill Baue from San Francisco on the heels of the release of the annual State of Green Business (http://www.stateofgreenbusiness.com/) report from GreenBiz. Makower started by discussing the good news, how business is greening in amazing ways, often under the radar screen of mainstream media.  Makower calls this effect "greenmuting," a term coined by Bob Langert of McDonald's (http://www.crmcdonalds.com/publish/csr/home/_blog.category.2254307.html), and he notes the irony that companies like McDonald's may be greening more than most individuals.  Makower also discusses the bad news -- that business is not greening enough, or fast enough, to avert environmental, social, and economic crises such as climate catastrophe, human rights abuses, and the financial meltdown. Baue poses the specific example of GE to illustrate this paradox of good and bad news.  Makower consulted on GE's Ecomagination (http://ge.ecomagination.com/) initiative, encouraging the company to set rigorous standards.  The conversation expands to the broader issue of standards for a green economy, and Makower opines that green jobs, which currently lack clear definition, may be the next greenwash (http://readjoel.com/joel_makower/2009/02/will-green-jobs-become-the-new-greenwash.html). Makower ends with inspiration, using the example of Obama's campaign of hope as a launching pad for encouraging us all to envision what success would look like in achieving a green economy (http://readjoel.com/joel_makower/2009/01/obama-and-the-vision-thing.html)that not only saves the world, but also improves our lives.

Before the Summit, Worldwatch Institute Senior Researchers Michael Renner and Gary Gardner proposed that the G-20 enact a Global Green Deal, evocative of FDR’s new deal but more audacious in scope and vision. CWR co-hosts Francesca Rheannon and Bill Baue speak with Renner about the proposal's 5 strategies, including transitioning to a renewable energy economy, launching an efficiency revolution, and investing in green infrastructure. And speaking of green infrastructure, Deutsche Asset Management issued a report calling for the establishment of a “green” National Infrastructure Bank. Bill Baue speaks with Deutsche Climate Change Investment Research Director Bruce Kahn about the report, a followup on the Investing in Climate Change 2009: Necessity and Opportunity in Turbulent Times report CWR covered recently.

At Tuesday evening's Democratic National Convention, (http://solartoday.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/hendricks.jpg?w=150&h=233) The Democratic party has shied away from linking clean energy, the economy, and the environment since Jimmy Carter's 1977 Energy Policy. But the political winds are changing. At Tuesday evening's Democratic National Convention, almost all of the speakers hit on the theme of green collar jobs. Nancy Floyd of Nth Power noted that there are 2.4 million green collar jobs worldwide -- but less than 10 percent are in US. Presumptive Democrat candidate Barack Obama's platform calls for more than doubling that number to 5 million green collar jobs in the US alone. And he's framing it as a win-win-win to get us off foreign oil, stop global warming, and create tons of green jobs in the US. This week, we feature the second part of our conversation with Bracken Hendricks, co-author with Congressman Jay Inslee of Apollo's Fire, and co-founder of the Apollo Alliance.

But building a green economy could do the trick. The beauty of the green economy is that it could tackle all these problems at the same time. But only if labor is a driving force behind it. And that's beginning to happen. Green collar jobs build a clean energy infrastructure. They're hard to outsource because most of the work, like weatherizing homes, happens on-site. Advocates are working to make the green workforce more racially inclusive. And incomes could rise as demand grows for workers left out of the oil-based economy.
