Hmmph! What about =girl= meets environment? And it's our fantasy of what a sustainable energy source might be like, what sorts of problems a young, energetic company might run into as it tries to buck the trend. LJM: GREENWAR is about the clash of different ideologies - or idealisms, if you prefer.
