Investment in green technology in North America, Europe, China, and India reaches a total of US$2.57 billion.
Increasing 13% from first quarter of 2010, the majority of this funding for January through March of 2011 was invested in solar companies, with part going to electric vehicle businesses.

What great news! May support for clean and Earth-loving ways of living continue to grow for a healthier and verdant planet.
