The American Spectator : Is Kleiner Perkins Sorry It Ever Met Al Gore?

So Kleiner Perkins’ energy venture was doomed from the start. It was about this time that Silicon Valley decided to get off the fence and throw its political fortunes in with the Democratic Party as well. John Doerr became a principal advisor to the Obama administration, which started handing out big loans to green energy companies, which Kleiner Perkins took a stake in and… well, you can imagine the rest.

Compare all this to what has been going on in Texas, where good old-fashioned oil men who don’t want the help of the government and who just want to be left alone to develop their technology have nearly doubled the state’s oil production in two short years and helped create 17 percent of the new jobs in the nation with only 8 percent of the population.

Kleiner Perkins’ problems aren’t over. It’s about to take a $100 million hit on the Fisker, another great green idea that has fizzled, after receiving a $529 million loan from the Department of Energy. KPCB will probably never see another penny of its investment.

Maybe the board of directors should ask Al Gore for some of that $100 million back.
