But in all seriousness…, its great to see more and more exposure on the topic of clean energy. You know Mr Doerr is helping bring some of these ideas to the fore front in Googleland…, as well as the VC world.

The quicker truckloads of $$$ can be made off of clean energy…, the quicker/greater the adoptance there will be.

This is a major flaw in our system. Dumping waste into the commons is basically subsidized by the people instead of charged to the polluter.</p> If coal burners had to pay for the carbon that they pumped into the atmosphere, then renewables would already be cheaper.
