Community Energy + Cleantech =
Homebase for the new economy.
Homebase for the new economy.
Evidence indicates that Community Cleantech investment markets are thriving in California
under the state's recently enacted AB32 Climate Change bill.* In fact, since September 2006
when the bill was enacted, California has become the number one cleantech investment state
in the US, as demonstrated in this graph of top cleantech states.**
