What do the Vancouver Olympics have to do with Sir Richard Branson's "Carbon War Room" and solar power? We hear from venture capitalist Jack Hidary on this Planet Forward webisode.

Hidary and Branson aren't just enjoying the sporting events at the Vancouver Olympics. They've started a "Carbon War Room" which is looking for market-driven solutions to climate change. And they met with over 50 mayors to discuss how entrepreneurs can help cities go green.
