"We have to re-evaluate whether we're using standards, incentives and other regulatory mechanisms to drive smart, long-term outcomes. We have to be willing to break from some deeply entrenched policies. But if we are as serious about climate change as many business leaders say they are, then we have to start talking about and taking accountability for these choices, rather than pretending our hands are tied until we clear future technology hurdles."

- Peter Darbee, Chairman, CEO and President, speaking at the United Nations/Ceres Investor Summit
