- Investors won't venture to gamble
- The quarter recently ended was not a happy one for venture capital firms. Investments were down by 80% in Q3, compared to a year earlier. Apparently the lowest level since the nasty days of 2003 when the tech bubbled had burst in investors' faces. Investment was so...

- Global warnings. Will China dominate green tech as world melts down?
- Jeremiads abound. America, he cries, get off your ass. We humans are doing little to try to stop global warming because it challenges our basic assumptions. Gloom and doom for moose? by Harry Fuller

- How the federal dollars make their way to green tech companies
- The EPA is handing over 16-million dollars for purchase of clean diesel machinery. One recipient is the port of Baltimore which got over 3-million. New diesel engines burn far cleaner than old diesel engines and they're far more efficient that gas-powered. Here's the EPA release on the...

- What's written in the international climate change reports
- Do some governments have a heavy hand on the climate change reports issued by the IPCC? That's the charge from some environmental groups. Here's what one lead sauthor of those reports, an American scientist, has to say about that charge. Essentially, not true. The broad acceptance...

- Can green tech help save nature's biplanes?
- Pressure to use ever more land to grow food and fuel is decreasing the land open to many wild creatures. Now there's concern that many dragonfly species could go extinct. Their larvae need fairly unpolluted wetlands to grow in. Most of the dragonfly's life is...

- "Cooling trend" gets hot reactions
- I blog about global warming and the reactions are hot. One commenter thinks I want everybody to believe in global warming so green tech will get more investment. My selfish reason for liking green tech: it is more likely more birds and trees will survive and I find...

- Has the U.S. already lost green tech to other nations?
- Is it too late for the green tech boom in the U.S.? Is the nation now second-rate technologically? Did the eight years of aerobics during the Bush Administration leave the U.S. one lap behind nations actually in the running? There are certainly lots of folks counting on a...

- Green Tech gets video home online
- The new website devoted to covering energy and global warming is cleanskies. It is an on-demand video news site. Text is there for guidance, not deep research. But if you want to look 'em in the eye when they come out for Cap-and-trade, or demand repeal of...

- Repubs say the Waxman-Markey bill is DOA in Senate
- There was not a kind word to heard be from the Republican Party today about the House-passed Waxman-Markey bill. Obama calls the bill "bold and necessary." The Republicans called it names. Waxman-Markey would change many aspects of federal law on energy, air pollution and global warming. Amazingly...

- Environmental drug abuse
- We're drugging our environment and other creatures who live in it. A recent study of rivers containing "treated" wastewater found fish swimming around with human drugs and scent compounds in their tissue. Doped fish. So some of those legal drugs we take end up passing...

- Water woes: Chile, Tampa, California, global
- Down in Chile they are free market supporters, to such an extent that water rights are bought and sold like land or cattle. That has particularly acute effects in areas where there is little or no local rainfall. And local water supplies are dependent on good behavior by...

- Mother nature uses green tech
- Researchers in Japan and China have discovered some butterfly wings have tiny solar collectors. The scientists used mother nature's evolutionary brilliance to man-make more efficient solar cells. The research found that butterflies are far more efficient at collecting solar energy than similar man-made solar cells. ...

- Green Tech Bubble Deflation--Matches General Economy?
- A couple American ethanol plants are being shutdown, at least for now. One is in Indiana, the other in Ohio. AltraBiofuels gives its official reason for the closures: "market conditions." Read that as much lower gasoline prices. If gasoline prices continue to stay at this level or...

- Green tech company hits the red, and the panic button
- An ethanol-maker in South Dakota goes for Chapter 11. It's VeraSun, hit by a combo of high clorn prices, and tight credit. Even though corn prices are now only about half of their record $8 per bushel from mid-summer, VeraSun is feeling the pinch and is "re-organizing." ...

- Feds to continue highway money flow. But mass transit?
- I recently blogged about the lower gasoline sales and lower federal revenue leading to a nearly broke Highway Trust Fund. The US government now finds that Trust Fund worthy of a bail-out, paltry next to the debts of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, tiny compared to the fed guarantees...

- Gasoline Quiz: the answer
- One great thing about blogging for ZDnet, the readers here are smart. The most popular answer to my quiz was the correct one. The picture of cheap gasoline above was taken at a typical suburban gas station near Quito, Ecuador. I was there...

- Would a re-regulated oil market destroy green tech investment?
- Today oil analysts told American political leaders that regulating oil speculation could easily cut half the price of crude oil, within thirty days. Wow! They even speculated that gasoline could drop back to $2 per gallon. Forget those hybrid cars and plug-in electrics, Martha, get me that...

- Sure, energy tech is sexy and could be profitable. But think real green, as in chlorophyll and growing plants. That's the most crucial green tech now.
- There's a lot of interest in alternative energy tech and ways to utilize fossil fuels more efficiently. There's considerable push now for more nuclear power. And all that makes economic and ecological sense: energy is at the base of the economic pyramid, less energy means less of everything for...

- Water, leaks and big money
- It's going to cost a lot of money to fix America's leaky pipes. Not as much as it takes to occupy a country, in say, the Mideast, but a lot of money nonetheless. With inflation now hitting China and other Asian manufacturers, I suggest we fix these pipes...

- Money flowing into investments on route distant from Wall Street
- One Silicon Valley venture capital firm announced they'll put a quarter-billion dollars into green tech. Runs counter to the frenzied state of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve where they think a bunch of bankers missing their annual bonuses is somehow a really important economic problem. Meanwhile, energy...
