New Report from the Center for American Progress

The Center for American Progress (CAP) released a report yesterday titled Out of the Running. Key message - the US needs to start making long-term investments in clean energy development or risk being shut out of a $2.3 trillion industry. CAP compares the US to what's happening in Germany, Spain, and China. The report finds that these countries are early winners and the US, lacking strong domestic clean energy policies, may be left behind.

For those who are interested, check out this December New Yorker article about China. It supports the CAP report's main message that the US needs to go all in on clean energy R&D, or end up losing the new Great Game.
