Cleantech May Mean Debate in Washington, But it Means Jobs Everywhere Else

I just came back from an annual chili cook-off at a home of a dear friend. My recipe, which my kids and their friends adore, came in second place in the popular vote two years ago, but hasn’t been able to place since.  Next year, I have a totally different approach that I’m looking forward to trying.  More on this later, as if you could possibly care. 🙂 In any case, great people, fantastic food, and a ton of interesting ideas thrown around all afternoon and evening.

One of the more interesting features of the day was a guest who referred me to a white paper from San Francisco–based venture capital firm DBL Investors, the executive summary of which is subtitled: “Cleantech may mean debate in Washington, but it means jobs everywhere else.”
