 Clean Energy Future by Arno Harris   (Site not responding. Last check: )
That’s because early adopters of clean products—whether “dark greens” or “light greens”—respond to green messages that may have myriad semantic/historical connections to broader fringe themes that are anti-corporate, anti-global, anti-capitalist, and eco-activist.
For clean energy startups, I believe the best path to market is often via niche market opportunities—finding the “early adopters” who for any number reasons may be more receptive to an initial product offering and less sensitive to price.
Simply put, clean DG technology enables a company to compete effectively with utilities at the retail end of the electricity value chain where electricity is expensive and customers are hungry for alternatives.

 Renewable energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Renewable energy sources are distinct from fossil fuels, which must be consumed to release energy.
Renewable energy resources may be harnessed directly, such as in solar ovens, geothermal heating, watermills, and windmills.
Geothermal energy is energy obtained by tapping the heat of the earth itself, usually from kilometers deep into the Earth's crust.

The cleanest of the new "clean coal" technologies is Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), a process whereby coal is gasified before combustion.
IGCC can also provide an economically efficient pathway both for the removal and storage of carbon dioxide (should such capture and sequestration be required in the United States) and for the production of hydrogen.
Although demonstration-scale coal-based IGCC powerplants have been operating successfully in the United States and Europe for several years, both regulated utilities and independent power producers have been slow to embrace the technology.
