Ted Turner Talks Green on CNBC

Man, he looked stoned

I've never been a huge fan of Ted Turner - he seems a bit of an egomaniac. Anyway, he was one of the most powerful men in media and he seems to be a pretty good businessman. So, I don't mind hearing his opinions, hence I watched him today on CNBC.

Wow, did he act stoned. Maybe he's really green - bud and all, but back to green energy.

Turner told CNBC that it was imperative that America get off fossil fuels, especially coal. Thus, Turner has invested in a solar power company, Dome Tech Solar. He also was bullish on wind power and he even suggested nuclear power should be investigated.

In the short term, he stated that Americans should embrace conservation, buy hybrid cars and use fluorescent light bulbs.
