There are a lot of cleantech leaders out there. Numerous cleantech industries are growing in leaps and bounds, and numerous people and companies are to thank for that.

Unfortunately, the media business is still a tough, cut-throat business with tiny margins. It's a never-ending Olympic challenge to stay above water or even perhaps — gasp — grow. So ...
