The TH Interview: Chris Goodall—Ten Techs to Save Our Butts (Part One)
Thursday, November 20th, 2008
Mr. Goodall phrases it more elegantly than we have, to be sure, but the premise is the same: if we want to avoid big trouble in paradise, we need to get very busy with radically new technologies. Goodall is an author (his previous book was How to Live a Low-Carbon Life), blogger, and a regular contributor to the Guardian Environment Network. His new book, Ten Technologies to Save the Planet (see our recent review), is a pragmatic yet nerdily scintillating survey of green tech. Not one to tag along with the herd (this is the man who said driving is greener than walking), Goodall calls it like he sees it, dubbing some techs rubbish (micro wind power), and provoking us to strip the stigma from others (carbon capture and storage). In part one of our conversation, Goodall leads us into the frontlines of the energy revolution.

The TH Interview: Van Jones—The Green Collar Economy (Part Two)
Thursday, November 6th, 2008
We can’t drill and burn our way out of our economic and ecological ills, but we can invent and invest our way out, says the author of The Green Collar Economy and founder of Green for All. In part two of our conversation with Van Jones, we talk greentech, politics, “eco-apartheid,” and (of course) his vision for a green economy. “The green Keynesians are going to win,” says Van Jones.

The TH Interview: Van Jones—The Green Collar Economy (Part One)
Saturday, November 1st, 2008
Do you love your hybrid, fear for the plight of the polar bears, dying to put solar panels on your roof? Then you might be a member of the eco-elite. Not that there’s anything wrong with you, says Van Jones, but for a green economy to be truly effective, it needs to be more inclusive.
This is the thrust of The Green Collar Economy, Van Jones’ new book. The very quotable Jones is up there among the world’s brightest, seeking a green economy “that is strong enough to pull millions of people out of poverty.”
