As climate chaos and soaring fuel costs batter the U.S. economy, Van Jones brings a unique perspective to the color green. He argues that a green economy that rescues the polar bears can also rescue the U.S. economy -- putting America back to work; driving down energy and food prices;giving green collar jobs and new chances to underserved youth; and forever ending the need for oil wars and resource wars.
