In terms of policy, Immelt said China is "linearly focused on energy" with policies aimed at job creation. By contrast, the policy picture in the U.S. is uncertain in regards to renewable energy mandates or regulations to cut carbon regulations.
The formula for developing clean-energy businesses is to match technical innovations with large-scale deployments, Immelt said.
we have seen many companies trying to take on the energy management challenge from the user’s end. Home energy management products that control appliances at consumers’ homes to save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability and transparency is an integral part of smart-grid strategy.
2. Create a shared vision for competitiveness. If South Korea plans to spend 1 percent of its GDP on CleanTech research, why can't we spend 3 percent? (And why can't we agree, when allocating tax dollars, that our national security is tied to economic strength as much as it is to military might?)
"The station will enable users to refill their clean vehicles without the requirement of hydrogen storage system. During daytime the hydrogen station will export renewable electricity to the grid while remaining energy neutral."
This is a good trend for Austin:

"One event that signaled the transformation was the first Clean Energy Venture Summit in May of 2007 in Austin," Bohn told ReadWriteWeb. "Thirty to forty investors came to listen to 15 or so startups, and 400 people attended. It was standing-room-only in biggest ballroom we could find."
Petrobras, today celebrated the world’s first use of sugarcane-based ethanol in a gas turbine system to produce electricity on a full commercial scale.
"The first of these systems is predicted to churn out 50 kilowatts of electricity (enough to power about 50 American homes). Motor oil might not seem like the cleanest substance in the world, but Cyclone says it has devised a way to burn it cleanly and recover the heat released in the process."
"The market research firm forecasts that the global small wind market will expand to $412 million in revenue by 2013 from $203 million this year, a compound annual growth rate of nearly 20 percent"
