In venture-capital circles, clean tech has been on a tear, bringing in billions of dollars and attracting thousands of entrepreneurs. But now, some people are starting to add a voice of caution to the stream of upbeat financial news.

A tally of venture-capital investment in clean-tech companies in the U.S., Europe, and China hit a record $4.6 billion in the first three quarters of 2008, according to an Ernst & Young analysis based on data from Dow Jones VentureSource.
