NYT -- Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Names Gore as a Partner. Venture capitalists said the move could help companies financed by Kleiner establish ties with big business and government, and obtain subsidies that encourage broader use of new technologies.

Paul Kedrosky, a venture capitalist and author of the blog Infectious Greed, said Mr. Gore would now have a financial incentive to push for subsidies, like the tax incentives or rebates that have buoyed the solar industry, or to provide start-ups with important connections in government and big business.
