1. Good. I'm glad someone is.

The good news is that the growth potential in the renewable technology market is huge. Even if China takes the lead now there is no reason to suppose that the evolution of the market will inevitably continue to favor them. We aren't there yet, but we are moving into a period where government intervention and support are becoming unnecessary and where we go from there in this international competition is anyone's guess. We should be glad that this dust-up is taking place because it is shaking the west out of its complacency and has instilled a real sense of urgency in the business community about finding a place in the future of energy.
