Sustainable Energy Technology

Are GW proponents more likely to invest in ecologically sustainable technologies than GW deniers?

1. Energy efficiency technologies
2. Alternative energy production
3. Sustainable agriculture
4. Recycling

I would be shocked if that weren't the case.

GW deniers will probably invest their money in whatever is the cheapest, because frankly, their denial has a lot to do with perceived economics (e.g. an irrational fear of carbon taxes). In many cases, energy efficient technologies will be cheaper in the long-run. So if people consider the lifetime costs of a purchase (which many people do not), they may buy the more energy efficient technologies. But I think many AGW proponents will also consider the environmental impacts of their purchases, and thus more frequently invest in the more efficient technologies and such.

For example, I pay extra on my utility bill so that PG&E (my electrical utility) will invest money in alternative energy (they call the program "Climate Smart"). But I don't anything out of it, except that I'm helping contribute to the advancement of alternative energy. I don't think any AGW denier would do this.

As for 3 & 4, again, deniers will invest in whatever agricultural products are the cheapest in most cases, whereas proponents are more likely to consider the sustainability of the agriculture. Recycling I think even most deniers will do as long as it's made convenient enough, but again, proponents are more likely to make the effort to recycle.

Israel at the cutting edge of Sustainable Energy Technology.
