This quote from Newsweek magazine, Nov 9 2009 issue, page 37, by Sharon Begley:
In a poll, he says [Al Gore], 80 percent of CEOs and CFOs said they would not spend money to make their factories more efficient and save money in the long run if it hurt their next-quarter bottom line. “That,” says Gore, “is functionally insane.”
I couldn’t agree more. Such short-term thinking from such highly paid people.
That sound you can hear is my mind boggling.
