THE ENERGY RACE.

The article focuses on the United States' strategy for global competition in clean energy technologies. In February 2010, President Barack Obama promised to allocate eight billion dollars for the building of two nuclear reactors. In 2009 China became the world's leading wind turbine manufacturer, and the author believes that the U.S. must consider long term markets for clean energy. Some investors, like hedge fund manager T. Boone Pickens, have stepped away from building wind farms after experiencing problems with financing. The Environmental Protection Agency and their plans for regulating emissions are also discussed.
