Money headed for energy, education, and tech areas of US

Shows us that the exceptions to economic demise look to be split between low-regulation "flatlands" like central texas, and highly skilled tech futropolises like SJ, ABQ, Denver, etc.  Also pickled northeastern brain vats like New Haven and Cambridge.  Also strong energy/processing zones like eastern texas.  Watching for a new bubble here will be interesting.  Everything contributes to the vague impression that what money there is is (I love using "is" twice to each other in a sentence) channeling itself toward a green, energy-bound messianism, while continuing to build exurban honkey-tonk sprawls where it is still cheap to do so (say, central tex).  Looking for both these trends to spread geographically as oil and commodities drop back out of the ether.
