The problem with clean tech is that it’s just not boring enough. But boring is coming, promised Dan Doctoroff, CEO of Bloomberg, as he kicked off the fifth annual Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit in New York City.
The conference does not focus on any particular energy source, but the deep pockets of financiers bring together some of the most innovative entrepreneurs across the clean tech sectors.
The theme of this year’s conference is moving to a post-subsidy world, whether for fossil fuels or renewables. “We’re working for the day when clean energy just energy, when smart grid is just the grid, when high-intensity light bulbs are just bulbs, when LEED certified buildings are just buildings,” said Doctoroff.
