Green technology companies, CNet News blogger Michael Kanellos said in the posting Tuesday, could face an uphill battle getting customers excited about their products, because these products are simply not” sexy “enough.

Kanellos stressed that sell solar and wind energy equipment… not exactly the most exciting things around. There are new types of water filters, or biomass for home heating.

In other words, Kanellos suggested that a majority of firms green “you have to sell the goods, but not the desire.”

This may be true, but it can not then. Some green technologies are exciting, at least for those of us who drool over Smart phones and other gadgets. Such technologies, such as more efficient batteries, displays, which are thinner than ever, and software, which allows the pursuit of human life, such as videoconferencing, it can also be “goods” in a sense, but they are also potentially of great importance for the first actors adopters and power users.

So here is a question for you, Dear Reader: what is a “sexy” green technology to you? What to take on green technologies, so that I can say, “Cool!”? Let us know. Because there is certainly more than the green technologies of solar panels.

The report indicated that the Financial Times as great as clean coal technology, Japan may be using this as a way of removing the pressure for a more lasting change. Japan is no reason, the report concluded pitch technology as the answer: the country has a lot of technology.

“Japan is already at the forefront of energy-efficient technologies, even if environmentalists say that has lost some ground in recent years,” Financial Times “.
