Watching Washington "handle" the morgage crisis, I think we can safely assume that major businesses are no longer allowed to fail. Jim Walsh has an article in the current Liberty titled Privatize the Profit, Socialize the Loss. I think that's where we are now.

I'm thinking a home wind turbine and electric vehicle may be the way to go.
