CleanEdge Has Just Release their new report on:
Five Emerging U.S. Public Finance Models: Powering Clean-Tech Economic Growth and Job Creation
We live in interesting times. Clean technologies, from solar and wind power to the smart grid, energy efficiency and green buildings, have emerged as a central driving force within a host of established and emerging economies around the world. The clean-tech sector has caught the attention of earlystage venture investors, well-entrenched multinationals, and governments large and small. But financing and supporting the continued growth of clean technologies and the jobs that come with them will not be easy. We continue to face the consequences of one of the most significant global economic crises in generations, and the credit freeze, along with the loss of tax-credit appetite by investors, has made the growth of any industry challenging, to say the least.
