Vinod Khosla, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and a venture capitalist, is making major bets on clean technologies. But he's not going for the usual subsidized technologies. Too many government subsidies of outdated or inefficient technologies mean that lots of green products won't achieve economy of scale and thus won't have the desired impact on climate change.

The first time I heard about Progetto Manifattura was from Mr. Luca Capra of Trentino Sviluppo in April 2010. He told me that it was a new company owned by the autonomous Province of Trento, and that it was working on the issues of green architecture and green economy. He asked me if I was interested in working there as an intern.

Also it seemed challenging for me to work in a newly established company: it might open a path for innovative ideas to do during my internship.
