Interesting Google CEO interview

This is a pretty good interview. Doug and I disagree on the points made regarding short sales as really the short sales are a product of the lenders and investors unrealistically driving up the prices of homes for their own benefit. A 50% rise in appraisal in one year is not realistic. It was inevitable that it would fall. The short sales have forced the market to equalize to a place where the average middle-class person can actually afford to buy a home. This is a good thing.
My husband, Doug, is very involved and passionate about solar and other forms of alternate energy. There really is no reason why America needs to be so dependant on oil from other nations. We are constantly taught the need to be self-sufficient and every day are confronted with more reasons to be so. The world is a scary place right now, but we still have so much power to do good and help others around us.
