Alternative Energy Innovations 2009

Alternative energy has emerged as a key investment area for venture capitalists. The increasing need for cheaper and cleaner energy sources has made firms realize that the sector holds great potential. But the economic downturn along with the near disappearance of late-stage financing along with increased competition from corporations and a need to understand the goings on in Washington is changing the way that VCs are looking at investing and building companies. Capital intensive sectors like solar and biofuels are getting less attention while emerging areas like energy efficiency, green building and the Grid are being looked at more closely.
