One of my favourite references in the VC/blog world is India's http://www.emergic.org. Here is what the blog's author, Rajesh Jain, quoted the Economist on yesterday:

Analysts confidently predict the clean-energy business will grow by 20-30% a year for a decade. Jefferies, an investment bank that organised a recent conference on the industry in London, asked participants how soon solar power would become competitive with old-fashioned generation technologies: in 2010, 2015 or 2020. More distant dates - let alone never - were not even discussed. About three-quarters of those present, one visitor gleefully observed, were "cheque-writers". This "megatrend", the keynote speaker gushed, "may be the biggest job - and wealth-creation opportunity of the 21st century."
