ICT never quite got a look in because it was always over-promising and under delivering. HR became PR as Unions were disemboweled. But the people who mattered less and less in the corporate hierarchy were the people who actual made things or motivated others to do so. They were the worker/manager drones who were seen as yellowpack inter-changeables who could be outsourced at will. Only the Strategists were essential.
So practice doing some fancy Powerpoint Presentations showing that Renewable Energy is the banking Nirvana of the next decade - machines just spewing out money with very little need for management or fresh input. The worse things get in the oil/commodity/real world - the more valuable they get. The ideal hedge against more or less everything.
Practice your acting and theatrical skills. The grand visions, the unsupported assumptions. Practice being an illusionist, conjurer, and snake oil salesman - if you want to get ahead. Only boring worker drones want to do real things for real people. Sell Solar to the Irish and wind to the Arabs.
Otherwise use your project finance skills to develop ET. Its an ill wind... Vote McCain for war without gain
Obviously if Arabia is going to maximize its potential as a Sustainable Energy Exporter to Europe, it needs more than solar alone ...

it must develop its wind resources if it wants to maximize the capital return of the HVDC lines from the Arabian Peninsula to Europe via Turkey and from North Africa to Europe from Morocco to Spain.
picture of idealized HVDC line routing I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
