Let me introduce you to a legend involving a countryman of mine (who admittedly the English didn't like, and wasn't very nice himself) and a spider. He goes by the name of Robert the Bruce.

Just because you failed once, doesn't mean you should give up. And anyway, even if your countrymen won't buy the 1000mpg cars, the 1W PCs, etc, there's a pretty good chance the rest of the world will. That should at least assist your balance of payments deficit.
