IMHO a recession won’t help the green movement, a worsening economy and the rising costs of food, well people would rather eat than worry about the type of fuel they use.

Look to the third world for examples. Poverty is a big cause of pollution. Maybe that would be a better focus for the “Green” organizations. (Maybe the term “Green” really stands for all the cash to be made?)

I read somewhere (can’t remember, sorry!) where the author voiced his opinion that the next bubble object will be oil. Look to Wall Street to start running that up. I guess you could expand that to any “energy” source with the exception of nuclear.
