- More positive news on the clean-tech investment front announced before the market meltdown but significant nonetheless: Another smart-grid player, GridPoint, is using at least some of its $120 million in recently raised equity financing to buy V2Green, which sells technology for integrating infrastructure for supporting plug-in electric hybrids with the...

- Greentech Investing: Not So Fast
- There's an inevitable slowdown in venture capital investing and that's not good news for Silicon Valley nor the Cleantech start-ups.

- Google journeys to the center of the earth (well not quite) with latest alternative energy foray
- Apparently Google's philanthropic arm isn't content investing in just one source of alternative energy, which makes sense considering the geographic diversity of the planet we live on. The search and business applications giant last week said it will put up about $10.25 million toward energy technology called enhanced geothermal systems...

- Prices up, consumption down--market economics working for gasoline consumers?
- Yes, American gasoline prices have risen more than 30% in a year. Yes, consumption is now down in the U.S., year to year. Just under 4%. So maybe nobody ever said there was a one-to-one ratio. Bet if gasoline gets to $5 per gallon, consumption will...

- It's official gasoline now over $4 per gallon average in U.S.

- Crude oil: OPEC cartel? Speculation? Unlimited demand?

- Alternative energy folks should be smiling as gas expected to soar in cost
- The U.S. government is preparing American drivers for $4 gasoline this spring. Meanwhile crude oil prices seem to be settled into a range just above $100/barrel. As long as the U.S. dollar stays weak and demand for oil doesn't drop considerably, there's no reason to expect lower oil prices....
