Green Is Good or E.T. Phone Home?

This past weekend the National Governors Association held its annual meeting in Washington DC which focused on clean energy and what Governors can do to help make ?green? in the U.S. a reality.

Current NGA Chair, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced his initiative, Securing a Clean Energy Future , at the 2007 Summer meeting in Traverse City.

According to Gov. Pawlenty, "Governors and states are stepping forward to lead an energy revolution that will 'Americanize' our energy production in order to improve our national security, our economic well-being and our quality of life."

Although the topic is different, his comment made me think of last year?s winter meeting which focused on AZ Governor Napolitano?s platform of innovation and competitiveness and where Cisco?s CEO, John Chambers, shared his views on how states can compete more effectively in the global economy by promoting innovation.
