...good news is that we have been through similar job-market shifts before. And it may be easier for a higher-educated population - college graduates now make up nearly 30% of the workforce, up from 22% in 1992 - to make job transitions. But it will take time, and it could be particularly painful for, say, investment bankers who have become used to fat salaries...
Other items on the renewables industry's wish list: a national renewable-energy portfolio standard, which would require a certain percentage of U.S. electricity to come from alternative sources. (More than 20 states already have similar standards, but a national one would be tricky, given that utility regulation in the U.S. is localized.) Green energy leaders would also like to see an executive order that would greatly expand the federal government's procurement of renewable energy - a smart idea, easily doable - plus a major initiative to update and smarten the nation's aging, overworked electrical grid. That last item...
...calamitous succession of the Panchen Lama in 1995, when China chose its own candidate. Pictures of the little boy whom the Chinese rejected as the 11th Panchen Lama - he is believed to be imprisoned - are still displayed here and there around Dharamsala.

...mostly anonymous individuals, corporations and unions. Podesta himself is leading Obama's transition effort, holding press conferences to speak for the President-elect, with an operation beneath him filled with CAP alum. The transition's operations director, the general counsel and the co-director all have come over from similar jobs at the think tank. At least six other CAP alums or board members, including Daschle and former EPA Commissioner Carol Browner, continue to advise the transition or campaign on matters of policy; Daschle looks likely to become a part of Obama's cabinet as Secretary of Health and Human...
...they studied carefully how conservative organizations like Heritage had been so successful. That would explain the fact that in January Podesta's organization plans to publish a 600-page manuscript called Change for America: A Progressive Blueprint For The 44th President that is consciously modeled on a very similar conservative document produced at the dawn of the Reagan era. That 1,000-page book written by the Heritage Foundation in 1981, Mandate For Leadership, became the blueprint for the incoming administration of Ronald Reagan. The book was placed on the seat of all the Reagan Cabinet officials at their first...
