Green Tech Better than Internet

Being an old time Unix fan I have always admired Bill Joy, and It's great to see a person with his caliber focusing on Green Technology.  He has been with Kleiner Perkins for a couple of years now, which is a very respected VC firm, and therefore Joy has all the right resources to do things in this space.  I'm sure great things will come out of his new focus.

He is looking at all kinds of stuff, from more interlinking of transportation and electricity grids, new chemistries for better batteries, and better use of open parking spots for solar energy accumulation, to advances in materials for more efficiency and lower cost in photovoltaic products.

And he calls Internet investment wacky: "We're still finding really high-quality ventures at an early stage where we think the prices are fair. I wouldn't say that's true in the Internet space. Things in Internet space are wacky right so it's nice to be someplace where things aren't so crowded."
