...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. In 2006 he headed a lobbying push that led California lawmakers to adopt the first state limits on carbon emissions, presaging the current high-tech campaign for clean energy in Washington. "I have referred to prior energy policies as really the sum of all lobbyists," Doerr told TIME in February. "My lesson about policy is not to argue about...
