Investing in Climate Solutions: Venture Capitalists Turning a Green Path into Gold

On Wednesday, April 16, Chairman Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will hold a hearing on the seeding of the renewable energy future from private financial investment.
