Cleantech was minted by venture capitalist John Doerr a few years ago as the greatest opportunity of the 21st century. The global energy and transportation market is about as big as any market in the world, worth an estimated $7 trillion a year. Despite all the talk, what kind of progress is really being made with alternative fuels? How far has field come? How far away is biofuel from becoming a mainstream alternative to fossil fuel? What needs to happen in order for this promising field to reach its potential? We will convene West Coast leaders to talk about separating the hype from the reality of this opportunity.
