Don't Lower Your Standards; Up Your Game!

Writer: Marshall KirkpatrickMarshall Kirkpatrick

Don't lower your standards; up your game! That seems to be the lesson from Australia's "Faster to yes, faster to no" strategy.


While the US government is being awful about the transition to renewable energy, check out how Australia is doing it. This week they announced 56 big renewables projects are being fast-tracked.


Not by reducing oversight, at all, but by investing in support and facilitation through regulatory and environmental processes.


If you want to accelerate a market, one approach is to reduce restrictions on harm done, I suppose. But a better strategy to build for the future is to invest in helping companies mature in their ability to go through processes.


It's so (not) funny that right wing governments allege that Diversity and Inclusion initiatives lower professional standards - perhaps they are just projecting their own desire to lower the standards their business practices should be held to.


And now, our daily summaries of nearly 200 selected updates from around the world of green tech and sustainability.
