China Kicks off Renewable Energy Drive with Wind Farms [View article]
This doesn't look like being smart, it rather looks like being cynical of the advances China is making.
I would suggest you move to another planet if the progress China is making could upset you. Seriously, you need to open up your mind.

Will China Drop U.S. Debt? Unlikely [View article]
Ridiculus,
Simply because USA government to the world is the analog of AIG to the insurance industry..
Deeply in debt and too big to fail...
Then the rest of the world should support the bad behavior by lending a hand to USA, indefinitely?
This is beyond ridiculous.
Two solutsions, 1) United states downsize their lifestyle to the level sustainable. 2) United states ramps up their productivity to support their life style.
With option 2 clear out of the mid-term sight of view (as an example, auto industry in USA is no longer competitive to the rest of the world), option one is the only choice.
To force the bad child of US government( and consumers) to correct their consumptuous behavior, the world (including CHINA) should gradually cut the 'cheap money' supply. It's like heroin, they more you spend, the more you want to spend.
Somebody (and the rest of the world) should spank the ASS of USA for wasteful spending and give it some color to see see.
Reduce the US treasury is the first and necessary step.

But, in the eyes of the god, why should American's enjoy the superior buying power of their dolloar denominated sallary, which is totally unproportional to their productivity.
Because the US economy to world is exactly the AIG to financial sector?
Because it is "too big to fail"?
Then it deserves to taxing the rest of world into poverty to keep US a first tier country?

Take it easy, Pal. No investment would have an GUARANTEED any life-time benefits. This is the reality.
Uncertainty, or risk is the one that we need to fight against, not whining against.
It is the spirit that matters. I found it hard to accept that American's (espeically UAW workers) lost their will to fight because of they have been spoiled so well in the past.
The process of fighting, and the power of will matters. I am not that overly concerned about the result, whether I can retire safely and richly in 20~30 years.
For the retirees of GM, I wish their pension plan would be partly guaranteed by the government. For the UAW workers, they need a kick in the ass to jumpstart.
My personally experience: 'Got out of school in early 2000. got into telecom business and saw the whole industry went into deep recession, got laid off twice. Went back to grad school and finished my ph.d. Got the job I enjoyed more the last year and still working hard to fullfill myself. '
I don't consider myself to be the wise, strong and lucky but I know that the key is to stay in the game, and do not worry about the guaranteed benefits.

Agree with Cobra 1 totoally.
It's a slow but painful death for the Hummer maker, which I consider one of the ugliest things in this world.) Japan is already big in the hybrid technology. China and Japan are charging full speed into electrical car. For the gas guzzler maker, let it die.
For those working in the factories that used to manufacture Hummer I/II/III.
Pick up the book and start reading at night, stop going to the bars, movies, BBQs. Or, at least, you can learn new skills.
You need to prepare yourself for the next challenge, not whining here!
US tax payers ( even every working class in China, Japan, and other country) are buying you time.
Now please stop crying.

This doesn't help.
Unless somebody could file a class action against HLA.
I hope there are some legal grounds for the frustrated share-holders.
