My experience tells me that there are conflicts of interest everywhere. The issue isn't that there is a conflict of interest. The issue is whether these conflicts of interest are being managed.
In this new agency, which I'm hopeful will be very effective and helpful to the clean-tech sector, I expect that they, like SDTC before them in its previous incarnation, will be diligent and responsible in terms of applying, on an ongoing basis, the management of conflicts of interest.
