More attention to Cleantech

AP article in USATODAY about Doerr and KPCB going into cleantech.

As far as I understanding it:

Energy’s only answer is Solar.
More people are going into cities.

Unfortunately, what hasn’t been said: More people in cities = Slums

We are not talking about corporate housing, apartments and planned cities.
This is a huge populace going into shanty towns, a few pieces of wood/cardboard. Tin roofs.

No running water, no clean air, no clean soil.

Maybe Slums will be addressed later.

First get enough energy, electricity too cheap to meter, and then clean up the air, the water, the soil, build homes, make food, and provide jobs for everyone. Big problems, big opportunities.

It’s not fair to ask too much of anyone right now. Investors are still learning about the space. People listen when the big boys come to play. The list is big and getting longer on the experienced fundmanagers going into cleantech. More headlines can only help, not hurt.
