No More Executive Ban on Offshore Drilling
Written By: Miranda Marquit

On Monday afternoon, President Bush lifted an executive ban on offshore drilling in the United States. (A ban, btw, that his father put into place.) The move, however, was mostly symbolic. Congress also has a ban on offshore drilling, and in order for the ban to be completely lifted, lawmakers have to get on board. Democrats, and even some Republicans (especially those from coastal states) don't seem too keen on the idea.

Environmentalism is becoming a big deal. More and more companies, including Wal-Mart (WMT), are jumping on the environmental bandwagon, straining themselves to make changes so that they can show consumers how environmentally conscious they are.

The 100 MPG Question
Written By: Taeho Lim

Nine months ago, Popular Mechanics wondered aloud why the automotive industry couldn't develop a car that could get 100 miles to the gallon. While progressive-minded individuals have reached triple digits on occasion by mixing solar energy with a traditional powertrain, no automaker has taken the initiative to mass produce an eco-friendly and reliable model. The Honda (HMC) Civic compact came the closest of any 2006 gas-powered model with 40 mpg on the highway while the diesel-powered Audi (NSU) A2 and Volkswagen (VOW) Lupo 3L have reached 80 mpg, albeit with emissions that wouldn't measure up to EPA standards. With new EPA testing methods knocking down mpg figures even more for the 2008 model year, the future doesn't look too bright for anyone looking to reach the 100 mpg milestone in the near future.

The Automotive Big Three: What Really Went Wrong?

It is no mystery that America's Big 3 automakers are in critical condition right now, they have clearly entered uncharted waters. Foreign automakers, particularly from Japan, have weighed down on the Big 3's former stronghold on the global auto industry and are now posing serious threats to become the new leaders. Since 2005, net losses have totaled in the tens of billions for Ford (F), GM (GM), and DaimlerChrysler (DCX), while Toyota (TM) has crept up to being the world's #2 automaker and should soon overtake GM as the largest. The city of Detroit, once a proud blue collar city built on sweat and steel, has also felt the ill effects of the restructuring of its three largest employers.

Last week I attended a presentation with Andy Savitz, author of The Triple Bottom Line. As a veteran in the field of sustainability, Mr. Savitz has made a career out of assisting corporations in the design, development, and implementation of sustainability programs. With more pressure on today's corporate world in the "Age of Accountability," the book describes how the world's best run companies are achieving economic, social, and environmental success - in other words, bolstering their triple bottom line.
