Beyond guts, a great business plan, and friends with deep pockets, clean energy entrepreneurs will 
need patience and perhaps most of all, a favorable policy environment to succeed. Fortune magazine

and industry on “how to build a winning green tech company.”

"Right now, we have bad prices for carbon … We must think down the road: How will the institutional

for supporting energy infrastructure change?"

"I think visualization in the Information Age is what photography was to the Industrial Age… it's a 
kind of 'photography of data.' Changing parameters with your virtual camera allows you to reveal 
different patterns (for) better or worse."
