Hopefully, declining energy prices buy us some time until these innovations turn into commercially available products.

As the cleantech market matures, I think that people are getting smarter about what is real and credible. Just calling some clean or green is no longer enough. I think the defeat of the California energy propositions are evidence of that http://blog.pr-vantage.com/?p=556. Hopefully, this means that any government money will be well-spent.

I think an Obama presidency could make this a reality.
