SAN FRANCISCO — Al Gore announced Monday he’s joining Silicon Valley’s most prestigious venture- capital firm to help the private sector take on global warming and perhaps make himself some money.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner and former vice president joins Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers as it and dozens of other venture firms based in Silicon Valley expand beyond software, computer hardware, the Internet and biotechnology to so-called “clean-tech” investments worldwide. Gore praised the private sector for innovations in alternative energy.
