The United States must make long-term investments in clean energy development or risk being shut out of a $2.3 trillion industry, a new report by a liberal think tank has found.
The study (pdf) released today by the Center for American Progress hails Germany, Spain and China as "early winners in the next great technological and industrial revolution" because each imposed policies to encourage low-carbon energy development. Japan, Denmark and South Korea, the authors predict, also will profit handsomely as the industry expands. But the United States, lacking domestic clean energy policies, threatens to be left behind.

I've been saying this same thing for ages. Even Obama said it on a speech himself. When we are left behind and are no longer relevant, the people who are against it will finally wake up to the fact that if we dont move on this, it will be bad for us in the future.
