One of the most green innovations in recent history is the oxygen sensor. Developed by Bosch. Every car in the world now requires one - with the Germans reaping profits everywhere in the world from their innovation.

When the Germans decided to get serious about air pollution, well, as a result, most American coal plants are dependent in some way to innovations reaping more profits for Germans.

Countries that choose to solve problems by innovating routinely become world leaders and economically wealthy.

Solutions to ozone depletion reaped tremendous profits for Dow Chemical(?) who simply developed new material to replace ozone depleting CFCs.

The nations who find solutions to global warming will clearly reap wealth as a result. History has demonstrated that repeatedly.
