Coke, Ford join forces to juice supply of plant-based plastic

Three words explain why the 100 percent bioplastic bottle isn’t ubiquitous yet: Supply, supply, supply.

Coca-Cola, Pepsi and several other Fortune 500 companies are working to address that.

Why efficiency is smarter than renewables

“Real estate is the largest source of clean energy in this country, and it’s very inexpensively tapped.”

So said Tony Malkin, the president of Malkin Holdings, owner of the Empire State Building.

Malkin spoke this week at the annual Energy Efficiency Forum in Washington, D.C., and he’s got a point, albeit a controversial one.

If we — or, more to the point, the people who represent us in Washington — have $1 to spend,better that it be spent on energy efficiency than on clean energy. That’s not way things work now. Today, wind and solar power get generous tax breaks and subsidies. Energy efficiency investments do not. The government  has it exactly backward.
