Thoughts on Money, Meaning and Mission

During my years with KLD Research & Analytics, we saw our mission as two-fold. Our job was to remove the barriers at the top and to build the demand at the grassroots. We therefore created an index of companies created with social and environmental standards. That index outperformed the S&P 500.

Whether you call it a “balanced approach,” These shortages put New Englanders – including an “all-of-the-above strategy” or, as Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker put it, an energy “combo platter,” the bottom line is that New England needs everything: renewable energy, demand reduction, increased natural gas supplies, and electric transmission to connect us to remote resources.

Mccrone: If Interest Rates Turn, Clean Energy Will Find it Tougher

The last time U.S. interest rates were on a sustained upward trend was just over 10 years ago, in summer 2006. George W Bush was president, ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ by Shakira was at the top of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, and no one had heard of Justin Bieber.
