I agree that the 4 challenges we face are adapting to globalization, adjusting the to the IT revolution, budget issues, and engery consumption. The budget issue no matter where you are or what you do all places of employment are concerened about their botttom line.
The issue that hits home with me, the science teacher, is the engery comsumption. There are so many other forms of energy which can be used which would help lower need for fossil fuels, however that companies do not want to invest in looking into ways to produce since this cost money and will effect the bottom line.
See I think they have invested some money in the alternatives to stay ahead of competition but will only go to them when they milk the cow - the american people dry. Or when governmental regulations make it as you say cost effective... either by taxing the fossil fuel methods higher or by making the transition mandatory.
