Bill Paul’s Earth Preservers Interviews Bill McKibben of 350.org

My friend and 2GreenEnergy financial guru Bill Paul runs the organization “Earth Preservers” that is doing fantastic work in bringing the fundamentals of clean energy and sustainability to a world that desperately needs to come to grips with these basic facts. Here, Bill, in an Earth Preservers TV “EPTV” Newsmaker Interview, speaks with Bill McKibben of 350.org, arguably the world’s leading environmental activist. McKibben covers subjects including the Keystone pipeline and the understandable disappointment that young people have with the Obama administration vis-à-vis the environment.

He also clarifies the idea, forwarded by the right wing, that subsidizing green energy development violates the idea of a “free market,” arguing that anyone who honestly believes in free market capitalism should demand that the oil and gas industry pay to clean up its own waste.  If you ran a restaurant and threw your garbage out into the street at night after you closed, we’d come along and close YOU down.  The oil and coal companies dump their garbage into the skies, and make it YOUR problem.  An interesting analogy, to be sure.  Please check it out.
