Yesterday during the 7 p.m. hour of FBN’s “America’s Nightly Scoreboard” the Business and Media Institute’s Director Dan Gainor went head to head with John Coifman of the Natural Resources Defense Council. The topic of discussion was “business going green” and whether or not it can put businesses in the red. The first part of the video can be seen below.


David Asman asked Gainor, “What’s wrong with going green?”

“There is nothing wrong in theory with going green,” replied Gainor, “but the problem is that a lot of companies are doing things that don’t make any financial sense…they’re admitting a lot of things the companies are doing to go green, whether it’s carbon offsets, or environmental credit for energy, this things aren’t necessarily going to help anything…”

Asman went back and forth questioning Gainor and Coifman for roughly eight minutes. Asman also called it “the most civilized debate on the issue he had ever been involved with.” The rest of the interview can be found at the Business and Media Institute’s homepage, or Youtube page.

What going green means

November 6, 2007 - 12:43 ET by Lame Cherry

What going green means is simple:

It means one returns to caveman deathstyles where nature controls your life by disease, predators, pests and famine.

Without technology and modern industry weeds and insects would eat all food supply. Without modern warmth people would die by the bushels each winter. Without ugly old crude oil engines people would be croaking at age 60 like in the good olde days when people worked themselves to death in hard labor.

Who in the GOP has the brains and balls to start talking like a person with common sense and telling people this.

“...the most civilized debate on the issue he had ever been involved with.”

Of course it was...he was interviewing a reasonable person, not some Leftist zealot.
