The Solar and Cleantech
Industries in Boulder

Maybe it's because Boulder's ponderosa pine forests and wildflower meadows are never far from sight, but Boulder's been a leader in sustainable, renewable and energy-efficient technologies for decades. In fact, Boulder is home to a whopping 292 cleantech companies. For companies and organizations that are bringing together groups in the environmental, solar or cleantech industries, it's a breath of fresh air to meet in a place that walks the talk. 

"I’ll be a working moderate income socially conscious Boulder hippie!
Ride home on my mountain bike,
Just in time to turn on my solar powered growing lights.”
—Jam band Leftover Salmon
