John Doerr's fusion of environment and investment
BY Ted.com | Feb 13, 2008

Billionaire dot-com venture capitalist John Doerr has started a project called Greentech to invest in companies that are pioneering alternative energy sources.

After building his reputation on hugh-tech, he has now turned his attention and wealth to a more basic cause: the planet's need for sustainable energy.

In this talk he highlights his passion for green technology and his role as partner in equity firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, which is helping to finance the cause.

Highly intelligent and thoughtful, Doerr proves that when it comes to changing society's habits, money can talk.
