Al Gore's green fund closes at $683MNashville Business Journal - from GreenBizJournal.com Al Gore's Climate Solutions Fund has closed with $683 million to invest in early-stage green companies. The Financial Times reports the fund will focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency technology, biofuels and biomass. This is the second fund for Generation Investment Management. The first focused on larger firms the fund deems to be environmentally friendly. Gore, a Nashville resident, is chairman of Generation Investment Management, while former Goldman Sachs Asset Management boss David Blood manages Generation. Blood told the Financial Times the size of the fund is an indication that green investing is going strong, despite general economic and financial troubles. "A fear expressed by some is that the first thing to go in a downturn is the nice-to-have sort of investment. Some people put green investments in that category, but we think that is nonsense. This is not nice-to-have - it is fundamental finance...because the transition from a high-carbon to a low-carbon economy is a ginormous step that is going to happen quickly," he told the newspaper. powerlineblog.com
