That's a bit harsh, surely? What about, for example, the current wave farm developments? I'm sure that the companies funding those are hoping to get a decent ROI, same as if they were funding some other new technology initiative that wasn't explicitly green. Likewise the various alternative car fuel projects.
Ah, but is that what he is talking about? I mean fair enough proper research and development, but I interpreted 'green initiatives' as the sort of bollocks that I mentioned.
