Silicon Valley CleanTech
31 January 2010 - Posted by Bert Aldridge - 0 Comments
Today's Mercury News has a great article about the growth of Clean Tech in Silicon Valley. A few things that caught my attention: an estimated 7,000 people currently employed in renewable energy and they're aiming for 25,000 new clean tech jobs; Morgan Stanley predicts that the current $USD 20 billion in smart grid revenue will rise USD$100 billion by 2030; The solar enery market is estimated to grow from a USD$30 billion global industry in 2008 to USD$81 billion by 2018; and, some nice info graphics about smart grids. Go read the whole thing, then clip and keep in your digital wallet.
