Solar energy : scaling up manufacturing and driving down costs Wind power : exploiting big finance, large projects, and emerging niches Biofuels and biomaterials : developing next-generation refineries and feedstocks Green buildings : leveraging advanced materials and the power of "negawatts" Personal transportation : designing ultra-efficient, low-emissions, high-performance vehicles Smart grid : creating an intelligent, distributed, twenty-first-century grid Mobile technologies : powering a world on the go Water filtration : turning oceans, wastewater, and other untapped sources into pure water Create your own silicon Valley : jobs, growth, and economic potential Clean-tech marketing : five key lessons Conclusion : leading the way 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 next engine of economic growth. Here, authors Pernick and Wilder identify the major forces that have pushed clean tech from Utopian dream to a revolution in 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, green buildings, personal transportation, the smart grid, mobile applications, and water filtration--they uncover how investors, entrepreneurs, and individuals can profit from this next wave of technological innovation. 25661 Tecnologías limpias 7731 Tecnología verde 25658 Recursos energéticos renovables Aspectos económicos 7736 Política energética Aspectos económicos 25660 Tecnología y medio ambiente Aspectos económicos 7735 Inversiones de capital Wilder, Clint 7728 7 cbc origcop 2 ncip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK 0 0 lcc 0 0 HU BJB BJB HU 2022-08-04 0 TD 145 P452r 2008 00000164923 2022-08-04 00:00:00 1 2022-08-04 BK
