Green technology and energy just got a big boost from some of the biggest names in business.

Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Meg Whitman are just some of the billionaires who are part of the new group Breakthrough Energy Coalition, which is dedicated to funding and investing new clean technologies.

Former hedge fund manager Tom Steyer is also a key member of the effort. He's the founder and president of the environmental advocacy organization NextGen Climate, and is a powerful force for environmental reforms in California.

Steyer joins Take Two to explain why everyone, not just billionaires, should be invested in encouraging this industry in the state.
