“Energy is the Mother of All Markets - $6 Trillion”
Small entrepreneurs are out there diligently working on a variety of clean technologies from solar panels, and wind turbines to production methods for fuel alternatives.
“Energy is the biggest business in the world, the mother of all markets,” says venture capitalist John Doerr, Google’s first funder. The winners of the race to reinvent energy will not only save the planet, but will also make megafortunes.”
However, the overall promise and impact of clean technologies will not be realized without large scale investments in the billions of dollars. There is currently enough money out there chasing the available opportunities according to Mr. Doerr. But energy has much larger capital demands if it is to scale to meet significantly impact the worlds energy needs. This type of investment will not be made until the already complex regulatory nature of the energy industry is further settled. Potential large scale investments are currently waiting on the US Congress to set the rules of the game regarding caps on carbon emissions.Source:
