Clean Tech Summit 2011 - Keynote: T.J. Rodgers

Growth of the Clean-Tech industry is being driven by politics, not science, in many cases. Too often, it seems, the government is bailing out or subsidizing companies or industries that it deems "too big to fail," "green," or "for the common good." Is it right for the government to pick and choose which industries should survive by artificially supporting them with subsidies? Is this a good use of taxpayer dollars, or should taxpayers be fed up with how the government is spending its money? T.J. Rodgers makes the case that in a successful economy, companies or industries should thrive or fail based solely on their performance and classic supply and demand principles.

I like the speech, but I do want to see some of the graphs and data presented in his power point.
