A Vision Without A Plan Is A Hallucination

I just saw this video of Thomas Friedman on the Letterman Show. It's about 10 minutes long but worth watching. My favorite quote: "Drill baby drill" is akin to chanting "more carbon paper" during beginning of IT revolution.

His bottom line? We need to invent our way out of this problem and the catalyst is putting a price on a ton of carbon.

Friedman talks about the coming revolution in energy technology (which he calls "ET") in his book Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America. I just ordered the book and haven't had a chance to read it yet. What do you think? Come discuss on Viridus.
