That's what I'm thinking I'll need to do in order to work in cleantech. This isn't meant as a derogatory statement, since I've been incredibly impressed by China's sustainability efforts. Still, cleantech is shaping up to be the Millenials' Cold War.
Case in point, China, who five years ago wasn't even on the figurative map of wind producers, just jumped past Germany to the number two spot. Now at 25.9 gigawatts of installed capacity--DOUBLE its installed capacity in 2008--China stands poised to give the US--at just over 35 gigawatts--a run for its money.
Coupled with this April 2010 article from The Economist on the emergence of developing countries as innovation centers (rather than mere production centers), we could be looking at an impending shakedown and restructuring of the global economy.
