FILE - In this Thursday, Oct. 12, 2012, file photo, the shadow of a windmill is pictured at his wind turbines park in Nordhorn, Germany. In the 2000s, large investors in so-called clean technology wanted to finance companies that would help eliminate the world's dependence on oil, natural gas and coal. But in 2013, clean technology investment funds are not trying to replace the fossil fuel industry, they're trying to help it by financing companies that can make mining and drilling less dirty.

FILE - In this Nov. 28, 2012, file photo, former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, co-chairman of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, following a closed-door meeting with House Speaker John Boehner. Even after a hard-fought deficit-cutting deal in 2011 and a tax-increase measure in January, Washington still has a considerable way to go to wrestle intractable budget deficits under control. The Congressional Budget Office estimates cumulative deficits of roughly $7 trillion over the coming decade and warns "such high and rising debt would have serious consequences," including higher interest costs for the government, reduced national savings and investment and a potential fiscal crisis. In budget circles, $4 trillion in deficit cuts is an important figure because that's the amount of savings claimed by Obama's own deficit commission, co-chaired by Bowles. (AP Photo/J.

A spokesman for the McGraw-Hill Cos., which owns S&P, Moody's Corp. and Morgan Stanley confirmed that ratings agencies Standard & Poor's, Moody's and investment bank Morgan Stanley have settled two lawsuits dating back to the financial crisis that accused them of hiding risky investments. The lawsuits from King County in Washington state and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank claimed that the ratings agencies and Morgan Stanley hid the risk of investing in a fund that purchased bonds backed by subprime mortgages. Judge Shira Scheindlin dismissed the lawsuits, in federal court in New York on Friday, April 26, 2013, with prejudice. This means they can't be filed again. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File)
