Silicon Valley Bank Collapse Threatens Climate Start-Ups

“As the fallout of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank continued to spread over the weekend, it became clear that some of the worst casualties were companies developing solutions for the climate crisis,” the New York Times reports.

“The bank, the largest to fail since 2008, worked with more than 1,550 technology firms that are creating solar, hydrogen and battery storage projects. According to its website, the bank issued them billions in loans.”

“Community solar projects appear to be especially hard hit.”
