Wired's article on being green and green myths.

It does go after some concepts (planting trees is always green, organics is the answer)

Others I disagree with, carbon credits are part of the answer, but executed as a carbon tax, not simply given away for free to current polluters. The current Kyoto system is still being evolved, and the replacement will need to be ready for 2012.

China being a leader in alt energy production is right, they are making the most panels and equipment. But China is exporting everything, not using it for domestic consumption.

Nuclear, as part of the solution to Carbon is one that people will need to address.  Some will accept it, others will reject, but the conversation must be started.

Unfortunately, it isn't easy, no simple solutions, no pat answers.  But this is something that needs to be resolved, and inertia/waiting is not an acceptable path.
