Here is a note I sent to Andy Oram when he said something similar:

What's to pursue? (*grin*)

The laws of supply and demand will pretty much dictate
the outcome.

We are not in an era of government intervention; "industrial
policy" is "bad" etc.

If we saw this like the "space race" and acted accordingly, we
would collectively build a system for education, welfare and, yes,
less TV watching, that was the "moon rocket" of our age ... but
we lack the courage and conviction.  Our loss.
