Marguerite: Thanks, I love your blog! We are getting a lot of opportunity right now with social causes that the whole team cares about.. as do I. At the same time I am waiting for my opportunity, but know when the right green opportunity arrives, it will be my turn to leverage my powers and make a huge difference for our society, for our world.

I feel honored. Not sure I deserve such praise! What pleases me is to read that green is on top of your list. As a social media whiz there is a lot you can get accomplished. What I find inspiring about the Agassi's project is the scale, and also its 'let's do it' spirit. Not unlike Pickens's plan. In a recent NY Times interview, T.Boone quotes his dad as saying, "Worse than a bad plan, is no plan." I agree. Goeff, thanks. I feel honored. Not sure I deserve such praise!

I too was affected by Wired's piece and hope there's a chance we can change our energy dependencies with people like Agassi leading the way. Thanks for sharing such good advice, in all senses of the term. I’m happy to see you continuing to promote what you believe in, what’s most likely right.

I'd rather be rich than wealthy! We can always strive to do both... You never know what's in store. Great point, Ryan. I’d rather be rich than wealthy!

These days, it's harder to make the time for more altruistic pursuits, but you're right that making a living and making a difference don't have to be mutually exclusive. Most of the time, changing the world isn't going to make you wealthy, but it can certainly make you rich.
