...Japanese national and local governments are doing their part to help consumers to overcome their fears, from helping to develop infrastructure to offering cash incentives to Japanese who want to purchase hybrid or fully electric vehicles. Incentives will reduce the cost of the i-MiEV by 30% to $33,100. That should help Mitsubishi meet its production targets of 2,000 i-MiEVs in the next 12 months, 6,000 in the second year of production and 15,000 the following year.

None of this necessarily means an end to the extraordinarily co-dependent economic relationship that China and the U.S. in particular have built up over the past decade. But it does mean big changes...
...already spawned new manufacturing: the SUP boards are specially designed, longer and wider than traditional boards. Meanwhile, multiple SUP magazines are now being published, races and wave-riding contests are popping up every month, and, as with any new-wave trend, a whole slew of entrepreneurs are trying to cash in, selling everything from boards and paddles to board bags, car racks, and specialized clothing lines...
