Something like 80% of US Venture Capital is currently going into "Cleantech" - probably more than all the grants going into it from the pathetic excuse of a government they have at the moment. Despite this, it may not be enough, and more Govt incentives are desirable to encourage more R&D in the sector. BTW there doesn't seem to be any indication that the boxes in this comment form are supposed to be Name/email/URL (I had to look at the source). Might not be designed for FF3?
