I agree with our patriots about we need to set up new industry in Srilanka beside garment industry. My suggestion is our government should setup overseas a industry technology and know how gathering division (inside the state intelligence agency) in acquiring new technology for the country from overseas and start local production of equipment. I heard Chinese have a very good industrial espionage division where they have well placed lecturers in the US Universities and Engineers/Scientist in acquiring US know how on different technologies. They are very good at making local copies of military and civilian planes and cars. Do you know just about every country in the world does industrial espionage on the USA. For a fact, France government has admitted that they officially conduct industrial espionage on foreign countries to help their own companies! It’s about time our own government start conducting such to acquire know how to develop their own local industry in the global market. I think we should set up more technology parks (for IT and Engineering) we should start investing on building solar, plug-in-hybrid cars, hydrogen fuel cell cars (NOT immediately), and purely electric cars. I heard China is building a Renewable energy economy (building cheaper and better solar panels for home and work place installation and hybrid cars). Government should start heavily subsidizing people to install solar panels in their rooftops. People can have solar panels providing excess power back to the power grid and save money (Use electro Caps instead on batteries to store energy).

Check out: http://www.aptera.com our innovators should get and inspiration from the Aptera Motors regarding a 300 Miles Per Gallon (MPG) car! We should build a copy right here at home and provide many with jobs. Maybe our universities can start out giving Engineering/ science student final projects toward building such one.
