"Make Green Pay" took a look at how global markets can be harnessed to accelerate the shift towards using more sustainable sources of energy. CNBC's Maria Bartiromo moderated a panel of business leaders and politicians from around the world as they explored ways to motivate capital market players.

Panellists focused on three areas of discussion:

o  Nuclear energy and cleaner coal are the only viable alternatives to oil

o  Markets are superior to regulation in leading corporations towards "greener" operations

o  A global carbon tax would do more harm than good
