The dot com sector thrives in a realm that is based more on concepts and ideas associated with (broad generalization) easy cost entrants. The energy sector tends to require higher (initial) capital commitments and therefore collateral to aid in the leveraged expansion. That being said, there will definitely be some consolidations and certainly disappointments associated with various good technologies that will not be accepted by the broader market.

No doubt. It'll change over time is something different and probably bigger. Will become a critical part of the energy industry. There will be a lot of M&A, consolidation like we have seen it previously in the computer industry and more recently in the software industry. The key is to develop new technologies that will have an impact on saving $$ -- business or consumer doesn't matter. They will either make changes only if it'll be convenient. David,

I personally think Clean Tech is going to stay. No doubt. It’ll change over time is something different and probably bigger. Will become a critical part of the energy industry. There will be a lot of M&A, consolidation like we have seen it previously in the computer industry and more recently in the software industry. The key is to develop new technologies that will have an impact on saving $$ — business or consumer doesn’t matter. They will either make changes only if it’ll be convenient.
