Video Transcript

"Green energy use ranges from technology to behaviors. The technology that's available today associated with Green Energy includes, solar, geothermal, wind and a variety of other natural based energy production systems. But it also involves using our brains, using the way that we think and trying to be optimal in our use of electricity and not just in terms of being efficient or in terms of being less bad. But always searching for a better way to reduce our energy demands from traditional sources that create impact to the environment, to people and to our society. Green energy in terms of itself, it's use internationally and nationally is growing. It's certainly not the norm, it's certainly not the majority of our power supply but it has expanded tremendously in the recent years in 2008 and 2009. Because of energy prices accelerating higher, consumers are looking for alternatives and the market responds very quickly to consumer interests and consumer choice. And also politically, politicians collect votes, most of the way business people collect money from consumers, and they are responding. And President Obama and his presidential campaign and his first one hundred days in office has invested the Federal Government's money, tax payer's money in Green Energy Renewal technologies as a way to jump start our economy. And matter of fact, most of our business growth that's occurring today in the economy is through Green Energy technology."
