John Doggett talked about how America’s crushing debt burden is limiting America’s ability to compete just as China, India and Brazil are becoming world class economies. He gave examples of the new and innovative ways these countries are competing on a global basis. The good news is that if Americans stop complaining (whining) about China and start taking advantage of our inherent strengths, America can turn things around. He concluded by talking about an area of innovation that really excites him: generating electricity from the ocean.
