Roundup: Clean tech prospects dim in troubled economy

Posted November 17, 2008 * Comments(0)

While many PR agencies were beefing up their clean tech practices this year, 2009 might be a different story. NPR reports, “capital-intensive green-energy projects are scrambling to adapt to a harsh new reality of tight credit, cash-poor investors and falling oil prices.” The Economist also predicts some gloomy prospects for clean tech. Even so, NPR also reports a boom for some renewable energy jobs.
