Follow the "Green" and Cash in on the $Green$...But how??

Is all the Green Energy Economy talk of the incoming Obama administration just green pie in the sky talk or is there really potential for Green Business even in this sagging economy?  Well if you ask John Grabner of Cardinal Fastener Company in Bedford Heights, Ohio he'll tell you business is just great!  In fact he hired two new employees just last week and speaking of the Green Economy says "People call it the next Automobile Industry for the United States."

Grabner's company has traditionally made screws and fasteners for John Deere and Catapillar and while those sales have declined recently sales of parts to companies that produce wind turbines and other Green Energy products are soaring.  Read more about Cardinal Fastener Company and Obama's stimulus plans here. 

Also below is a video of Obama's recent visit to the plant.

Greening the Inauguration

In just about a week, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States of America.  Now, whether you are excited about this or not, most are sure to be curious enough to tune in to the big festivities which we call The Presidential Inauguration.  Kind of like the Olympics, it happens every four years, and kind of like the Olympics, each one is a little different from the next.  But what will make it memorable?  Well, might it be remembered for its efforts to do things more green?  This article, featured in yesterday's Chicago Tribune discusses just that.  From what I read, the use of Segways to get around the city just might be one of the greenest parts of the day.  Take a read and decide for yourself.  Then, tell us what you think and drop us a comment!
