>>>and global warming solutions,<<<

Global warming solutions (carbon mitigation that is) are going to be a huge overhead tax on the economy no matter how you slice it. The thermodynamics were settled on that two centuries ago.

Now if you want to look at energy savings with lower carbon emissions as an afterthought, then you might have a position.

It was interesting that both Jim Rogers and the guy in that NPR interview yesterday with Terry Gross decried the fact that IB's and derivatives (and indeed much of the economy) exists primarily for gambling rather than productive enterprise......

Perhaps it's time to raise ST capital gains taxes to 70% and eliminate LT gains altogether. That might help a bit.
