We were already pretty excited about the prospect of hearing from Van Jones (president, Green for All), Theodore Roosevelt IV (managing director, Lehman Brothers), and Michael Eckhart (president, American Council on Renewable Energy). Having the Goracle drop in unannounced seemed like a pe ... |

| This is a guest post by Greg LeRoy, executive director of Good Jobs First, which will hold its national conference May 7 and 8 near Baltimore. ----- 'Green my job.'

There are some large 'policy forks in the road' being taken, although environmentalists seem un ... |
