Future of Renewables Symposium @ Google

I am reporting on the CTO symposium dubbed “Future of Renewables" at Google, which I attended this week. In it, a panel of PG&E, Google , VC clean tech, policy experts and entrepreneurs explained where both the action and the roadblocks are in the renewable energy space.  It was a sold-out event, with many other Hispanic entrepreneurs and volunteers also present.

On this post, I report on the 3000 feet view presented by the panel.  There were also a number of CCTO entrants presenting at boots in the hallway.  I will mention some of them in my next post covering the contest finalists.

Mitch Posada Launches QueVerde.com

Here's a shout-out to Mitch Posada, managing director of Grupo Entrada, on his latest venture, www.queverde.com.  QueVerde.com's mission is to be the leading media outlet dedicated to sustainability and green living among Latinos and Latino owned business in the U.S.

Why QueVerde?
There is no global news or media connection point between the Sustainability Movement and the Latino World >> Mass media is shrinking and media outlets are proliferating and segmenting the Latino into less coverage >> Sustainability Movement data is overwhelming and scientific oriented >> The Green Movement tone is negative and alarming >> Multi-dimensional topics are needed to address the interests of Latinos in the evolution of the Sustainability Movement

Queverde has launched two blogs:  TodoVerde and SoyVerde.  Check them out.
