Solar's a bust?

You may be right.  At the same time, technological breakthroughs can change everything -- just look at how the net has changed the dynamic in a very short time.  Implementation is another story, though, and obviously there is so much planning involved.

 

I think what we all need to realize is that most market change is glacial.  That goes for job markets as well.  What works for China right now may be what worked for us in the latter half of the 19th century.  Obviously we can't go back there, yet we share a world and that's what makes competing difficult.

Market change isn't always glacial. Take the assembly line for instance. Nobody used it until Ford perfected it. Could you imagine manufacturing without it now? The transition was very fast in that instance, as it was in others.
