The credit crunch has taken a bite out of the clean tech sector. But despite the critical situation, the industry is expected to go on to prosper.

The fundamentals are all in place. The rise in oil prices has caused an upward spiral in all of the fossil fuels, giving sustainable sources not only an economic advantage but an environmental one as well. Indeed, national governments around the globe are enacting clean air laws that encourage renewable energy consumption. The result, over time, will mean increasing levels of investment in clean technologies.

After several employees of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory acknowledged falling prey to nefarious emails that sought to infect their computers and steal corporate information, they were then told it was part of a broader espionage scheme. The government research organization said that it had been one aspect of a "sophisticated cyber attack" to gain access to several national laboratories and institutions.

No business is immune. While most of the attention is on beefing up information technology units to deal with cyber threats, many smaller-to-mid-sized companies are losing ground to criminals using ordinary techniques.
