When we talk about going green, what do we really mean? According to my understanding that should imply reducing carbons emission at our age and day. How can we achieve this if we keep on procrastinating these issues for later dates. Why cant we be brave enough to take the costs at our shoulders and spend more to emit less C. Of course it is not in line with anything economics taught me but in making it common practice, we reduce the obvious competitive advantage that every country fears in its own different ways.
Problems arise mainly in one stage, execution. I thought to myself this is so and sure enough it would be hard to every normal man. Each country is different in its own way meaning effects of the subjects at discussion varies as we cross a border. Having so many borders to cross and in short so many differences to overcome is definitely the problem. Massive consumers of petroleum products for example the USA, China, Britain, Russia, Australia and many more would feel the pinch real hard as compared to countries that only need these products as a supplement, like most of Africa. It is very hard to try to convince the big consumers that they need to make such big steps as opt for other energy sources or even worse contribute to developing alternative energy sources for the future. It is hard in deed. Being so should we leave it until the critical point where it will be costly to even emit more carbon. Should we wait for more signs of pollution than is already available to us. Personally, i would want it to be different but mine is only one voice.
Why do we fear making the bold virgin step? Maybe we should wait...
