I wish I could post something like this every day.
As the Senator often reminds us, corporations are beginning to realize that being a friend to the environment is not only the right thing to do, it's profitable. Texas Instruments is one example that was highlighted in the Kerrys' book This Moment on Earth, but there are others.
In the case of TI, they were able to reduce their energy consumption to the degree that it was cost effective for them to keep their plant in the U.S. rather than moving it overseas. So, not only was it good for the company's bottom line and good for the environment, but a whole lot of Americans got to keep good, high paying jobs. That's a whole lot of good.
So, this week, NBC goes green. Green shows, green website, green peacock, even. They're still not getting me to switch from C-SPAN except to watch Keith, but I do applaud their effort.
Green tie. Nice touch, Senator.
Stay tuned for more on Sen. Kerry and Sen. Boxer's upcoming trip to Bali to lead the U.S. delegation at the next round of international talks on climate change.
