The “Greentech bubble” Of 2006: Greentech investing attracted a swarm of entrepreneurs, and those entrepreneurs got to work building new solutions and scaling the deployment of existing ones, and over the past decade, the cost of energy from renewable sources has come down dramatically.Today, a new climate boom is underway.This is a problem that needs to be solved and there's no better way to solve a problem than by attracting the swarm. Climate Tech is the next frontier of the swarm.
