Until recently, there were few places America's greening trend had not reached. But all that changed last weekend in the Nevada Desert at the Burning Man arts festival. For the first time, organizers invited CEOs and investors of environmentally hip, high-tech companies to come to the event. About a dozen, mostly Silicon Valley entrepreneurs from solar, wind, and biofuel companies came to share their wares and, hopefully, get some innovative ideas from the creative crowd. The move has drawn both applause as well as criticism that the counterculture event is selling out.
