RE: It’s one thing for companies to voluntarily decide to operate in the ‘green’, but it’s quite another to demand that they do so upon penalty of huge taxation or fines

How much different is that from telling a Company to manufacture in the USA or face huge taxation?

Methinks this is whats going on.

At first I was really concerned (especially when he met with AlGore), but it looks like this The Donald's real strategy.

And as a bonus, he gets a command performance of naysayers groveling before him !

People don’t understand Trump, he reads non-stop, he never makes a move in business without knowing everything, I mean everything. He is doing research, he listens to all opinions and takes what is good from where ever he can.

I’ve never understood the appeal of the guy. He’s just another Hollywood androgynous dress-up doll as far as I can tell, like Johnny Depp but at least Depp is and has always been completely nuts, so there’s a little suspense

I never understood his appeal either. DiCaprio is a competent actor, but I've never seen him give an iconic performance of the sort that we saw from real acting greats (say, George C. Scott in Patton or Al Pacino's Michael Corleone in The Godfather).

Depp has done some more interesting roles than DiCaprio, but he's vastly overrated too. But let's face it, popularity in Hollywood has more to do with self-promotion, a highly visible personal life, and having the right image than acting talent. If it were about acting talent, Sam Rockwell would be a much bigger star than George Clooney.

"Green jobs do not exist."

The only green job I know of is, mowing the lawn.

Ivanka is truly becoming a malign influence on her father’s choices of who to meet with. First Al Gore, now this clown?

Yeah, he’s thinking 2020 already with this. Also, this will deflect some of (maybe just a tiny bit) of the ire when he brings back the energy industry big time in America. I mean, look who he made chief of the EPA!

Trump knows damn well that wind and solar are NOT COST-EFFECTIVE. He has said so himself! Trump will not endorse ANYTHING that is not cost-effective. EVER!

Whether something is cost effective or not should be for PRIVATE individuals and companies to decide. if someone like Leonardo wants to lose his money on green energy, nobody’s stopping him.

What I don’t want is GOVERNMENT IMPOSITION.

ROTFL! I love how he strings these people along!

I would hope I had the patience to do the same.

This is pure comedy gold!

Maybe he’s asking Leo for his opinion on soil sequestration and other means to best counter global warming caused by anthropogenic activities?

Solyndra was a smashing success.

The top execs, all Friends Of Al, got their golden parachutes.

Liberals all got to pat themselves on the back because of the triumph of Good Intentions over Actual Results.

The only fly in the ointment was the evaporation of billions of taxpayer dollars, but hey, that's all Free Money anyway. It comes from us Little People who inhabit Flyover Country.
