[edit] Green Technology Valley
Green Technology Valley also refers to green technology in Silicon Valley and, preferably, in Green Valley. In the last few years, the region has become the world's premier locale for "green tech," and, in the process, the nation's tech capital could once again be transforming itself, just as it did when the personal computer and the Internet gave birth to generations of start-up businesses. This green technology includes silicon cells and other solar wafers and cells. [3]
