body-two-closures-illustrate-the-need-to-chart-a-new-course-for-solar.jpg Thursday's back-to-back closure announcements came out of Colorado and Germany. The reverberations, though, will be felt heavily in places like Albuquerque, N.M., and Tipton, Ind. That's where hundreds of manufacturing jobs will be lost, and where hundreds more will never be made.

    Fight fire with fire. The Chinese subsidize what they consider to be industries critical to their economic game plan, e.g., solar. If we choose to take them on in the world marketplace (and do we have a choice?) without adopting similar tactics, we put ourselves in what very well may be a hopelessly disadvantaged position.

    The alternative is to roll over and resign ourselves once more to filling the role of customer in yet another industry. Why is it that our leaders (Republicans and Democrats alike) do not seem to comprehend that if we are the customer to everyone and the vendor to none, we will soon have not the resources to pay for what we want to buy?
