Dave,
Readers of IP might be interested in Tom Friedman's op-ed in Friday's
NY Times.
I blogged it at greater Democracy with extra added cowbell [links] in
the text.

500 miles per gallon
And that is NOT a typo! Friedman is writing about his vision for a
geo-green approach to policy. He argues that "the solutions to our
problems (of developing a geo-green strategy) are already here."

As Toyota Goes ...

So I have a question: If I am rooting for General Motors to go
bankrupt and be bought out by Toyota, does that make me a bad person?
It is not that I want any autoworker to lose his or her job, but
I certainly would not put on a black tie if the entire management
team at G.M. got sacked and was replaced by executives from Toyota.
Indeed, I think the only hope for G.M.'s autoworkers, and maybe even
our country, is with Toyota. Because let's face it, as Toyota goes,
so goes America.
