I was talking with a friend a few days ago about the green technology sector. It was in preparation for a presentation on the subject in San Francisco later in August. He is a bit of an expert on the subject, so I wrangled an interview of sorts with a lunch invitation. He was of the opinion the alternative energy companies were the way to invest but the entire green sector should see tremendous growth in the coming decades.
The term technology refers to the application of knowledge for practical purposes, so green technology would be the application of knowledge for environmentally sound purposes. The field of green technology encompasses a continuously evolving group of methods and materials, from techniques for generating energy to non-toxic cleaning products. Now these are facts most are aware of, but I wanted to cover them just to make sure everyone was up to speed.

The present expectation is that this field will bring innovation and changes in daily life of similar magnitude to the information technology explosion over the last two decades. In these early stages, it is impossible to predict what green technology may eventually encompass. We can also expect a green tech bubble to inflate and burst making and taking millions if not billions of dollars in the process. The key is to get out before it pops while keeping an interest in the companies that survive.
