Sunday Thoughts – Developing the International Clean Tech Market
Developing clean technologies is a personal interest of mine. I’m on the founding board of CleanTech Bay, which is a trade association of companies in the San Francisco Bay Area interested in promoting clean tech. I also have worked with a number of renewable energy technology companies in my “virtual incubator” at the Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce. One company www.1-solar.com won first prize in the renewable energy category at the California Clean Tech Open last month (see also http://guntherportfolio.blogspot.com/2007/10/2007-california-clean-tech-open-final.html for a video on the electrical inverter technology).
For the planet to cope with the greenhouse gas effects on climate, we’re going to need innovative solutions for generating and storing energy and for conserving resources like water and open spaces. The solutions will likely be a mixture of ideas – some from academia, some from big business and many from small companies around the globe. Our environment is a global responsbility and we need to develop global businesses that will find and implement the solutions to the crisis that we are facing.
