I don't think anyone will touch the US on power anytime soon. Not the EU, not Australia...and Japan had their chance and they fell flat.
Actually, Australia COULD...if you all bred like rabbits and made more people. ;-) The Germans and Japanese may make better cars, the Finns make a better cell phone, but as a whole, the US probably still outpaces the world in new technology and education.
After all, why would all these people come from all over the world to our universities, only to kick us with our own technology. ;-)
