Ron Pernick - Clean Edge

The Clean Tech Revolution

A Podcast with clean tech visionary and author Ron Pernick, co-founder and principal of Clean Edge.

Ron Pernick

When industry giants such as GE, Toyota, Philips and Sharp and investment firms such as Goldman Sachs are making multibillion-dollar investments in clean technology, the message is clear. Developing clean technologies is no longer a social issue championed by environmentalists; it's a moneymaking enterprise moving solidly into the business mainstream. In fact, as the economy faces unprecedented challenges from high energy prices, resource shortages, and global environmental and security threats, clean tech - technologies designed to provide superior performance at a lower cost while creating significantly less waste than conventional offerings - promises to be the next engine of economic growth. In The Clean Tech Revolution, (published by Collins), authors Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder identify the major forces that have pushed clean tech from back-to-the-earth utopian dream to its current revolution among the inner circles of corporate boardrooms, on Wall Street trading floors, and in government offices around the globe. Pernick and Wilder shine the spotlight on the winners among technologies, companies, and regions that are likely to reap the greatest benefits from clean tech - and they show you why the time to act is now.

Endorsed by Guy Kawasaki, John Doerr, Bob Greifeld, Nancy Floyd, William K. Reilly, and many others, this is an important and valuable resource on the trends and opportunities for going green.
