More investments, but less total money as greentech VC interest broadens but does not get giddy. That's the conclusion of a study of 2009 VC investments from Greentech Media. You can see their summary here.

2009 saw under $5 billion in greentech investments compared to over $7.5 billion in 2008. Solar got nearly 30% of all VC money and biofuel got about 20%. Water, long an ignored resource in the investment world, saw 33 VC deals in 2009.
