Jobs will change and people will get retrained. Local manufacturing and assembly will be needed for windfarms, solar, nuclear (if thats an option), geothermal, etc. New transport lines, trains everywhere, manufacturing of electric busses. All this stuff is going to bring a boom in the economy but you have to be positive about it. Go look at Germany's GDP and their environmental product manufacturing sector, its BIGGER than japan now. Go check out China where one of that countries biggest and most valuable companies makes solar panels (suntech). Its possible to make green industries as big as the internet boom and they will last much longer than them too.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
