Green Energy Technology
Venture capitalists are investing billions of dollars in environmental technology.
According to a recent article by Cargill, “Environmental technology is predicted to be the second fastest growing sector in the world after IT over the next twenty years.” (Cargill is an international provider of food, agricultural and risk management products and services.)
Green energy technologies are technologies that enable environmentally friendly sources of power; including, renewable and ultra-clean energy sources. Green technologies include but are not limited to: Solar power, Wind power, Fuel cell technologies, Small-scale Hydropower, Tidal and Wave power, Geothermal power, Biofuels, and Biomass.
Increasing world demand is driving innovators and entrepreneurs to invest in and develop new energy solutions which are spurring economic growth and creating new industries and jobs. In 2006, according to a November report commissioned by the American Solar Energy Society, companies in renewable energy and energy efficiency industries accounted for 8.5 million jobs and generated $970 billion in revenues.
Wind, biomass, and solar power could provide a significant source of new income for rural communities. Wind energy projects create new jobs in rural communities in manufacturing, transportation, and project construction. New projects in the Great Plains prompted Denmark’s LM Glasfiber to open a rotor blade manufacturing plant in North Dakota. Wind turbine tower and component manufacturing plants have created new jobs in several states, including: Washington, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. US Department of Energy
