Kudos

Kudos to you, Grist, for this interview. How interesting to read the thoughts of someone who isn't clearly on one side or other of the green fence. It drives me batty when fellow tree-huggers (or gas guzzlers, for that matter) treat environmental and development issues simplistically and assume that anyone -- particularly any businessman -- must be either good or evil. Clearly Jim Rodgers is a conscientious citizen who is willing to listen and willing to change  his mind. More of us should follow his example, on any issue.

I'm especially pleased that you've published this interview at a time when Duke Power seems so greenly evil. All caveats aside, it's good for us all to have a reminder that if (power) companies are doing things we disagree with, it is because we have yet to help create the economic context that allows them to competitively uphold the (green, just) values we judge them against. Onward, Congress. Some business leaders like Mr. Rodgers are taking their own initiative, but we should encourage it.On An interview with Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers posted 2 years, 8 months ago 8 Responses
