I nominate cleantech, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.
Over the next 30ish years, the entire globe will have to transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy. The amount of growth that needs to happen is probably bigger than what we experienced in the internet boom. Already in California, green jobs outnumber Hollywood jobs, and solar is now profitable without subsidy.
These are the areas that are going to have the largest growth and innovation over the next few decades. The next Google is going to be an energy company.
- gfodor 12y agoI don't know how you can qualify this as growth. The transition to renewable energy should be applauded, but at the end of the day it is a displacement of the fossil fuel industry, which is massive. It seems less like a wealth creation engine and more like a "we will destroy the earth otherwise" necessity.
