Review: Great to see green opportunites highlighted... I am in the UK and the growth patterns seem to be different, I am surprised that more invetors in the US have not taken advantage of the UK markets.

Review: Great article, very informative. Would be interesting to evaluate these sectors in other markets, such as emerging economies where they are also booming.

Review: Green! It's just not about Green. We have vast achievements throughout our lifetime in all sorts of areas but when it comes to describing this eco-friendly area effectively the only thing used is 'green'. Green does not make a strong connection or even come close to describing the interconnectedness of sustainbility. Green isn't taken seriously by business--look how long it's taken to get to this point where at last we have some pioneering firms advancing. Green hasn't got a soul, nor does it make the social connection. Research indicates that in some countries green just refers to the natural environment for the vast majority. Journalists and opinion leaders should set a proper example by becoming more informed in the area rather than resorting to stretching green as an attempted catch-all for everything eco or sustainbility related. This will assist in enablng the diffusion of adopting sustainable practices easier by the general public and benefit us all in the long run.

Review: This article was very informative about the current steps being taken in the United States business world to reach "greener pastures." I feel as though insulting past US practices rather than praising current striving for growth is just detrimental.

Review: This is a great article at a great time for clean energy. As a university student, it is very exciting to read about something I am so passionate about. I encourage fellow students in engineering, business, and science alike to start building clean energy into a career strategy. Energy demands are never going away, technologies are only going forward, and by the sounds of it, there is a lot of money to be made. There is tremendous opportunity here and around the corner, we all just need to take it.

Review: The number one solar manufacturer in the world is Germany. Where is the US? the number one hybrid manfacturer is Toyota and Toyota lost 17K per car five years ago. The US is lazy, stupid, and behind the world because of talk of funding and failure of leadership. Any fool realized that green was the future using the Triz scale designed by a Russian scientist. The US is a loser and behind the world. Where is over 50% of green construction up til 2015? China a emerging world leader. Where is the US? Giving tax breaks to Big Oil. School's out for today...
