Financing Clean Development

Description

Is nuclear power the cheapest way to meet the energy needs of nonindustrialized nations? In this program Hazel Henderson explores the financial side of sustainable development with Graciela Chichilnisky, architect of the carbon market concept that underlies the Kyoto Protocol. Chichilnisky founded an air capture facility designed to reduce greenhouse gases while making solar energy profitable, and Henderson's Climate Prosperity Alliance recommends private investing in clean technology as part of a transformation to green energy markets. Topics include environmentally-targeted pension funds, emissions trading, and the viability of a global carbon tax.
