New Green Technologies

Linked below is information about a list of new technologies that have large potantials to help make industries cleaner. However, while most people would certainly say that adoption of these technologies is certainly a good thing, the fact remains that many will not see the light of day. This is due in large part to the reluctance of industries and corporations to accept new, more environmentally-friendly methods of production, often because they raise the costs of production and subsequently lower profit margins.

What are some of the ways that industries and corporations can be persuaded to begin to adopt a wider range of these new "green" technologies? Is the most effective way through financial incentives? Through government regulation?
