Giving away the lead in developing new technologies, and now bagging stem cell research. Bad for business, eh? A whole lot of countries are going to get rich developing alt en, and we will end up buying from them. Sounds like it is good for business. I think the profitable companies are going to be the ones who recognize the cost of energy, and either minimize their own use, or develop products to take advantage of the new world. Like the Japanese are doing with cars. Like Detroit isn't doing with cars. Companies have also found out that combating waste and emissions is profitable. More efficient use of their inputs translates into profits. Waste translates into expenditures. Seems simple to me. Don't worry about stem cells. The Republic of California has your butt covered ;-). We'll get rich; the red states won't. Maybe we won't even send them cells :-)

Looks like China has figured out an alternative to gas powered cars... Man pulls car with ears while standing on eggs A Chinese man pulled a car with his ears while walking on eggs without breaking them. (photo) Zhang Xingquan, ,38, pulled the car for about 20 metres in Dehui, Jinli province. His performance drew a big crowd of astonished onlookers. Zhang said he began to learn the stunt when he was just eight-years-old. He can also pick up a 25kg bicycle with his mouth while standing on eggs. ananova.com
