			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We may have invented the solar cell, but <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/business/energy-environment/31renew.html?hp" target="_blank">China has taken the lead in manufacturing solar panels &#8211; and wind turbines as well</a>, to add a little salt into the wound.</p>
<blockquote><p><a title="More articles about Barack Obama." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/o/barack_obama/index.html?inline=nyt-per">President Obama</a>, in his State of the Union speech last week, sounded an alarm that the United States was falling behind other countries, especially China, on energy. “I do not accept a future where the jobs and industries of tomorrow take root beyond our borders — and I know you don’t either,” he told Congress.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s just rhetoric, Mr. President, Congress wants whatever their corporate masters tell them to want.  And in spite of what Justice Alito  may have been muttering during your speech, that&#8217;s regardless of where those corporate masters may live.  Multinationals just follow the money.</p>
