The Green Bubble

Brought to you by the same people who brought you the Tech bubble and the ethanol fiasco.

I'll bet that really makes you feel good about the cult of HOT FART MIST, 'eh, readers?

"Bubbling with good intentions; As companies vie to battle global warming, the green tech market may be overheating"

Amid concerns the planet is warming, the market for clean, green technology is beginning to show signs of overheating, too.

"I call it the global warming bubble," said Bob Metcalfe, who knows something about bubbles. An inventor of the ethernet and founder of Marlborough networking company 3Com Corp., the
stock of which plummeted when the tech bubble burst in 2000
, Metcalfe now serves as chief executive of Cambridge biofuel start-up GreenFuel Technologies Corp.

But while the flurry and investment that comes with a bubble creates a froth that inevitably results in some big losers, Metcalfe and others argue it also creates an environment where disruptive ideas can emerge and change the world.

Big losers = YOU, AmeriKans!

"What bubbles do is they're an accelerator in technological investments to be made; they cause the status quo to be questioned," Metcalfe said. "The trick of course . . . is to have a chair when the music stops."

And who is still standing? The American people, of course!!

Ready for another bowl of shit, Americans?

.... Venture firms that once focused on information technology are beginning to make green investments....

And YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS in a few years... POP!!!!Metcalfe, now a managing partner at Polaris Venture Partners, is one example of someone from information technology making his way into green businesses. He also sits on the boards of a solar company and a battery company.

John Doerr, the Silicon Valley venture capitalist who counts Google, Amazon, and Sun Microsystems among his early investments, was famously quoted saying the Internet spurred "the greatest legal creation of wealth in the history of the planet."

Illegal gets you more -- just ask the WAR LOOTERS!!!!

More recently, he has said that "greentech" could be the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st century."

Yeah, so THAT is what it is REALLY ABOUT, isn't it?

Not for the good of the people or the environment, but $$$$$$$$!!!!!!!

Why I NO LONGER BELIEVE, assholes!!!!

.... Part of the problem is finding the kind of entrepreneurial talent to take technical material, raise capital, and grow a business in the energy industry, with people from the high-tech industry moving in to fill the gaps.

Feeling a deja-vu, readers?

"I've found a ton of people I know in the high-tech field say, 'I want to change, I really want to get into clean tech, I want to do something I feel good about, how do I do it?' " said Mitchell Tyson, chief executive of Advanced Electron Beams, a Wilmington company working on creating energy-efficient industrial process.

Since both fields involve technical material, innovation, and rapid growth and disruption of traditional industries, Tyson believes that successful entrepreneurs in high-tech may find clean technology a natural transition.

From one pig trough to the next, huh?

Hemant Taneja, cochairman of the New England Clean Energy Council and a managing director at General Catalyst Partners, is one example of a high-tech expatriate who sees extraordinary opportunity in clean technology.

So does Al Gore with his carbon credits, etc.

That's why I am CONVINCED this MSM AGENDA-PUSHING ISSUE is ANOTHER DAMN LIE!!!!

It is NOT about reporting "news" or "facts" anymore, readers.

It is about PUSHING an AGENDA!!!!

"I think we're absolutely in a bubble," said Taneja, who founded and sold a mobile software company before he shifted to clean-tech. "But when the correction occurs, the glaciers are still melting and" the price of oil continues to go up.

Even if those glaciers are solidifying once again?

Locally, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and policy makers are hoping to get a piece of that action.

More GOVERNMENT LOOTING in action!!!!

Governor Deval Patrick has made growing the clean technology sector in Massachusetts a priority, citing the state's strength in research and venture capital. The New England Clean Energy Council, an organization formed to promote the clean energy sector, recently created a fellowship program, giving experienced entrepreneurs from the information technology and life sciences sector a green energy boot camp, complete with visits to research laboratories, seminars on market forces, and sessions on public policy...."

It is what is known as BRAINWASHING!!!

And they ALREADY HAVE the KIDS!!!

So, ready for ANOTHER RIP-OFF, Americans?

Here's your lunch!!!
