To those who have been with us since our inception in 2009, as well as to those who are just joining us now for the first time, here’s a brief summary of what we at 2GreenEnergy are all about. We offer:
• A platform on which we connect cleantech entrepreneurs with sources of investment capital.
• A free hot-line for those wishing to discuss any aspect of renewable energy, efficiency solutions, electric transportation, smart grid, energy storage, sustainable agriculture, i.e., any business concept within the vast subject of environmental stewardship and the alleviation of human suffering.
• Consulting services for cleantech companies spanning a huge variety of business disciplines.
• Through Craig Shields’ track record of success as a marketing consultant to the Fortune 500 tech companies (see partial list here), we provide a unique approach and capability to positioning, branding, demand generation, online marketing, content development, public relations, sales channels development, the creation of relations with strategic business partners, and business development.
• Access to Craig Shields’ four books on renewable energy (a free e-copy of the first is available here).
• A steady flow of news and opinions on cutting-edge solutions within the realm of cleantech.
• Intern programs for those wishing to hone their skills at researching and writing on topics pertaining to clean energy and sustainability more generally.
• A forum for the discussion of any facet of the technology, economics, and politics surrounding the migration to clean energy and sustainable lifestyles (i.e., this blog, with more than 7,000 posts and 16,000 comments).
• Dozens of free reports on forwarding your cleantech business concepts, e.g., the “8 Tips” shown here.
Again, we’re very happy to have you here. Hope you’ll stick around.

Remembering Buckminster Fuller, 20th Century Super-Engineer and His Beliefs about Humanity
Fuller’s words here have been echoed through the ages, e.g., Mahatma Gandhi’s note: “The world has enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.”
The problem: Most people living in our capitalist civilization care very little about what Bucky here called “livingry.” The typical person in the developed world thinks almost nothing about starving children and even less about recasting world society into a place where we take care of the wellbeing of everyone.
He was one of the great minds that have ever graced our planet, IMO.
Remembering Buckminster Fuller, 20th Century Super-Engineer and His Beliefs about Humanity
Six months ago, our local CVS drugstore had a manager, a handful of employees answering customers’ questions, checking them out at the cash register, stocking shelves, etc.
Last month, I noticed that most of these employees were gone, and the former manager was now stocking shelves. I also noted long lines of customers waiting for an automated checkout machine to become available.
Last week, I saw the former manager working at a nearby grocery store.
Also, the pharmacy is now closed for an hour for lunch. When I asked about this, I was asked, “Don’t you think we employees deserve to eat lunch?” I responded, “Of course I do. But can’t CVS afford to staff the pharmacy so customers are not inconvenienced?”
This is certainly not a unique–or even rare–occurrence; it seem that CVS is like most large corporations, driven by cost-cutting, while abusing their employees and their customers.
Barack Obama read the actual GOP agenda to a roaring Atlanta crowd Wednesday: a $1 trillion tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, paid for with higher health care costs and Medicaid cuts. Plus a war in Iran that everyone warned would push prices up. “(Democrats will) ban hamburgers and make everybody eat tofu,” he joked.
