1: Decent book surveying current major players
This is a decent book with a useful catalog of the major activities and the major players in the clean-tech space. However, I was less than satsified with the quality of the research and the writing. I am willing to believe that the author's premise (when they introduce the potential of various technologies that they talk about) is true. But, because the premise is backed by little or no "solid" research that clearly draws out a defendable cause-and-effect relationship, I am not willing to believe that the authors' premise is true.

2: Turns Green into Greed
I hope we do not attempt to abandon altruistic appeals and implement sin taxes as this book recommends. Sin taxes will cause backlash. Cap and trade - yes, carbon taxes - maybe, but sin taxes - no way.
On the other hand Pernick and Wilder have compiled a nice reference for green investors.

4: How about cleaner coal?
As a co-founder of the California Clean Tech Open and clean-tech marketer, I've spent significant time analyzing business plans for clean tech ventures. In "The Clean Tech Revolution", Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder do a good job at providing a summary overview of the current state of this very broad space,in terms of VC funding main themes. I found the "Smart Grid" and "Clean Tech Marketing" chapters particularly well done. However, the role of "Cleaner Coal" technologies shouldn't have been ignored. Indeed, coal remains a very important source of power generation in the US, China and India and its impact on GHG is extremely significant!

5: What is happening?
Hi,
Please, i have not received the book i ordered, so can not offer any review now. Meanwhile, i leave in Stockholm,Sweden and want to buy books on Amazon and send to my friends on Nigeria, do you ship to Nigeria? I have to pay 50USD to ship the books(BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY) i bought last time and is not funny, to spend twice the cost of the book to send it home.
