SiliconBeat: John Doerr has gone half-Green; gets word to President

  • All the interests are aligned. Everyone wins by pushing green tech. Consumers,
    agriculturalists, politicians, technologists, environmentalists. To his credit,
    Doerr is pushing policy change too, and his marketeering prowess can only help.
    He and about eight other partners (of about 19 partners at Kleiner) are active
    on a press to push legislation (oil tax, subsidies for alternative energies) on
    both the state and federal levels, he said. They're working with the
    Environmental Defense Fund, trying to push forward a carbon emissions-trading
    scheme, and visiting the offices of numerous U.S. Senators and Reps. Kleiner
    partner Floyd Kvamme is their agent in D.C.; he sits on the President's tech
    committee, and was apparently the guy who helped get the green-tech message to
    Bush. The firm is working with Schwarzenegger, as well as Westly and Angelides,
    Doerr said.
