10 Green Giants That Could Change the World
The CBS News “Green Eye” blog has a post on the ten companies that could change the world. Number one? China’s Communist Party. That may say something about the author Michael Kanellos’ view of the future of sustainability or it may be strictly pragmatic. Others on the list include GE, Siemens and Nissan.
While start-ups have played a crucial role in getting the green industry off the ground, the future will likely be dominated by large, sprawling conglomerates. Why? Green technology essentially involves revamping the physical infrastructure of the modern world: replacing coal-fired power plants with wind turbines, building homes from materials concocted in chemistry laboratories, and swapping out engines for electric motors. Established companies simply are in a far better position to muster the capital, technological depth, managerial expertise and factory capacity needed.
