As of last year, Kleiner Perkins oversaw a fast-growing green-energy portfolio of more than $600 million, including Silver Spring Networks, one of the largest smart-grid providers, and iControl, a company that makes Web-enabled home thermostats. Describing his investments as "missionary" work, Doerr stepped up his political advocacy for the energy savings they could generate.
