With Germany holding the lead, that doesn't leave much for the rest of the world. Where will we be? It's up to Obama. He has to push it though and show our determination and real effort. Reagan tore down the solar panels and killed the green movement many decades ago. Now it's time for Obama to put them back up. Put up new and improved ones.


From the article:

"TOKYO, March 18 (Reuters) - Japan's trade ministry said on Wednesday it aims to lift Japan's global share in solar cell production to over one third from the current 25 percent by 2020.

A report prepared by a panel of officials from the ministry, and companies including Sharp Corp (6753.T), Sanyo Electric Co Ltd (6764.T) and Tokyo Electric Power Co Inc (9501.T) is expected to be presented to a meeting of the Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy. (Reporting by Taiga Uranaka)"
