Green technology is the latest buzzword in the American economy with jobs being created out of it. But I am naive about this technology, and feel it's all hype. I can be an ardent of the green technology by simply waving a branch or keeping a pair of potted plants in my bedroom to conserve energy? So, is it all hype or is it here to stay?

wtf? you are not only naive, you are a bit potty too, perharps you've been smoking some of the dried leaves from the plants in your garden

green technology is here to stay, they(greenpeace, environmentalist) are constanstly drumming shoving it down our throats how brilliant these new techs are
and considering the cost of oil and quality of life(air) they make sense. the only problem is that they are not applicable to everyting now theyve not been tried and tested over a long period to know their reliability and then the cost!!

_{i think this should be moved to the poilitics/business section too}

Green technology simply mean environmental technology .In Nigeria and the rest of Africa there isn't an unlimited amount of oil. We have to found a way to produce solar energy and wind energy. Africa has substantial new and renewable energy resources, most of which are under-exploited

Dunno if it's here to stay or not.
It would be a wonderful thing if it was. But I wonder, with all the greed around petroleum, and the capitalist appetite, if the US and other developed nations can seriously hold and stay the course.

I was only being sarcastic when I mentioned about the potted leaves in my bedroom.
