Environmental Defense and the Terra Rossa blog offer up an informative video on the conservative/market-economy approach to reducing carbon emissions, lessening American dependence on foreign oil, and growing the domestic economy. In the video, John Doerr, partner in Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley’s largest and most successful venture-capital firms, says a “cap-and-trade” system for carbon emissions would also unleash America’s entrepreneurial talent to address environmental problems.
“I deeply believe in the power of entrepreneurs. We’ve seen their ability to solve problems and transform how we live, again and again and again,” Doerr says.
