Eco-Entrepreneurs to Trump Geeks in the World of Venture Capital?

The Scobleizer himself has an interesting post about how all the venture capitalists are looking to invest in the next hot environmental technologies. If you’ve invented a device to reduce energy usage, decrease carbon emmissions or increase fuel economy, this is your time to shine.

On one hand, this is heartening. When I talk about dealing with global warming in an economically responsible way, this is what I mean. Private industry can and will contribute to the environmental revolution. Just watch where the V.Cs are looking.

On the other hand, it scares the crap out of me as a geek. I’m making my living in the computer industry at the moment. If the smart money is on enviro-geeks, well… Let’s just say maybe someday I’ll get that biology degree after all.

But in the meantime, I’m pretty damn psyched about the annoucement we just made. Blog Business Summit 2007 in Chicago!
