April 3, 2012 — Since 2009, a wind-power company in Devens, Mass. has taken $21.7 million in Recovery Act awards, sent the bulk of that taxpayer-funded stimulus to French firms, fallen victim to industrial espionage and fired American workers. American Superconductor was once a paragon of so many promising alternative energy companies, a shining example of the scores of green enterprises that – we were told – needed but a helping hand in order to realize their potential. Yet since the Department of Energy first pegged American Superconductor as a winning business, the company has sent millions of taxpayer dollars to French companies, lost trade secrets to state-owned companies in China and lost American jobs. Far from a story of successful public investments, American Superconductor’s story is an exhibition of the unintended and often perverse consequences of government-directed attempts to chart the course of American innovation.

US toys with East Asian peace Despite North Korea's invitations for US experts to verify the peaceful nature of its satellite launch and past US acceptance that Pyongyang is capable of launching such devices, Washington continues to threaten East Asian peace with its ultimatums, says the North's unofficial spokesman. By bravely back-tracking on its bluffs, the US could break the cycle of tensions on the Korean Peninsula. As the United States government imposes tariffs in response to alleged Chinese subsidies on manufacture and export of solar panels, US legislators must ask whether protectionism or competition should be used to deal with China's goal of dominating clean technology. Emotionally satisfying protectionism will unfortunately be the one chosen. - Benjamin A Shobert (Apr 4, '12)
