The Copenhagen climate conference opens this week:

and there’s sure to be photo ops, and press conferences discussing “progress”.  The stated goals seem to be:  replacing the Kyoto Treaty; reducing emissions from industrialized nations (only 17 industrialized economies make up 90% of annual emissions); and helping developing countries reduce their emissions.    

I hope the technology discussion jumps to the forefront this week.  I hope the participants agree that climate change will only result from a technological change - away from carbon-intensive fossil fuels to renewable sources (AKA, nothing that burns).  Hopefully, this conference (and the media covering it) will shed some light on the hundreds of clean energy companies making renewable solutions.
