Rocky ountain Institute Cleantech event

I attended the Rocky Mountain Institute’s Cleantech conference in San Francisco (Reinventing Fire) last Friday. Not only did I get to meet up with a fellow Harvard Business School grad, Lionel Bony, who works at RMI, I heard a great panel of speakers: Amory Lovins, Dan Reicher (Google.org), Paul Holland (Foundation Capital), Bill Joy (Kleiner Perkins), Aimee Christensen (Christensen Global Strategies), and Catherine Zoi (Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy).

One big takeaway for our European clients is: Catherine Zoi talked about the Obama Administration’s mandate to grant $400M to companies that can help promote and scale energy efficiency to a national level.
