I just woke up so forgive me if this has already been touched on.  After listening to the gentleman from lane co. call burning wood to create energy "green."  I wonder how many of the jobs discussed have been truly green and how many of them are just greedy entrepreneurs riding the environmentalist coat-tails.  Furthermore, are there in fact any jobs that are green or does the very presence of 6 billion humans on earth preclude us from saving the environment?
