Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When industry giants such as GE, Toyota, and Sharp and investment firms such as Goldman Sachs are making multibillion-dollar investments in clean technology, the message is clear. Developing clean technologies is no longer a social issue championed by environmentalists; it's a moneymaking enterprise moving solidly into the business mainstream. In fact, as the economy faces unprecedented challenges from high energy prices, resource shortages, and global environmental and security threats, clean tech—technologies designed to provide superior performance at a lower cost while creating significantly less waste than conventional offerings—promises to be the subsequent engine of economic growth.
In The Clean Tech Revolution, authors Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder identify the major forces that have pushed clean tech from back-to-the-earth utopian dream to its current revolution among the inner circles of corporate boardrooms, on Wall Street trading floors, and in government offices around the globe. By highlighting eight major clean-tech sectors—solar energy, wind power, biofuels and biomaterials, purple buildings, personal transportation, the smart grid, mobile applications, and water filtration—they uncover how investors, entrepreneurs, and individuals can profit from this subsequent wave of technological innovation. Pernick and Wilder shine the spotlight on the winners among technologies, companies, and regions that are likely to reap the greatest benefits from clean tech—and they show you why the time to act is now.
Groundbreaking and authoritative, The Clean Tech Revolution is the must-read book to understand and profit from the clean technologies that are reshaping our fast-changing world.

This is a decent book with a useful catalog of the major activities and the major players in the clean-tech space. However, I was less than satsified with the quality of the research and the writing. I am willing to believe that the author's premise (when they introduce the potential of various technologies that they talk about) is true. But, because the premise is backed by little or no "solid" research that clearly draws out a defendable cause-and-effect relationship, I am not willing to believe that the authors' premise is true.

I hope we do not endeavor to abandon altruistic appeals and implement sin taxes as this book recommends. Sin taxes will cause backlash. Cap and trade - yes, carbon taxes - maybe, but sin taxes - no way.
On the other hand Pernick and Wilder have compiled a nice reference for purple investors.

As a co-founder of the California Clean Tech Open and clean-tech marketer, I've spent significant time analyzing business plans for clean tech ventures. In "The Clean Tech Revolution", Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder do a good job at providing a summary overview of the current state of this very broad space,in terms of VC funding main themes. I found the "Smart Grid" and "Clean Tech Marketing" chapters particularly well done. However, the role of "Cleaner Coal" technologies shouldn't have been ignored. Indeed, coal remains a very important source of power generation in the US, China and India and its impact on GHG is extremely significant!
