From the New York Times:
China is embarking on a new, parallel path of clean power deployment and innovation. It is the Sputnik of our day. Unfortunately, we’re still not racing.

Friedman's speculation on "The New Sputnik"
I don't always agree with Friedman, but I think he has a point here. Maybe GM should start thinking about building small-scale wind turbines to help charge the Volt? Switching to electric vehicles isn't going to be a magic conversion: the scale of battery recycling and electric power production will have to increase. Unfortunately, most American companies (as well as the various levels of government) seem VERY reluctant to put any money into upgrading their infrastructure, let alone keeping it maintained.
