Sessions on green jobs and eco-driven venture capital have been added in anticipation of the new management in the White House, specifically that $150 billion investment in renewables that Barack Obama touted during his campaign. That’s change the renewable-energy industry wants to believe in — and cash in on. — Sara D. Anderson
