Earth2Tech's Adena DeMonte pours a dose of realism onto the lovefest that's surrounding cleantech coverage of late. We all know that for the sake of PR value no one wants to give the appearance of driving a dagger through Mother Earth's heart (kinda hard actually, iron core and all). Yet, there's a bigger motive for VCs that are investing green.

DeMonte picks out this telling quote:

“We are a single, bottom-line entity,” said Bill Green, Managing Director with VantagePoint Ventures. “If we pick the right company in the right sector and that company becomes a billion-dollar market cap company, the trees will get hugged.”

Nice surname, Bill. Read the rest of the post for some more perspectives.
