“As the world's "most dynamic" cities seek to manage their own urban growth, American state and local officials have much to offer. Our mayors can share their experiences in urban design, clean energy projects, Smart Grids, codes for energy efficient buildings, transportation safety, and innovative environmental solutions.” WorldStatesEnergyGrowthCitiesShareDesignBuildingOffersProjectsSmartSolutionsSafetyCleanEnvironmentalLocalsManageCodeOfficialsEfficientUrbanInnovativeTransportationMayorsClean EnergyGridsUrban Design Author:Robert Hormats
“Every thing, even the so-called timesaving device and energy-efficient machine, comes these days with an elaborate set of instructions for its care and feeding. Buying a machine has become more and more like buying a pet. ... We are time-crunched. Not just by the number of things we have to do, but the number of things we have. In the late twentieth century, things have become our new dependents.” CareEnergyNumbersCenturyLateMachinesThese DaysBuyingPetDevicesInstructionEfficientFeedingTwentieth Century Author:Ellen Goodman

“Though the man-apes often fought and wrestled one another, their disputes very seldom resulted in serious injuries. Having no claws or fighting canine teeth, and being well protected by hair, they could not inflict much harm on one another. In any event, they had little surplus energy for such unproductive behavior; snarling and threatening was a much more efficient way of asserting their points of view.” MenWayWellsLittlesFightingEnergyViewsEventsSeriousHairBehaviorHarmPoint Of ViewTeethInjuryEfficientProtectedThreateningDisputesApesClawsSurplusCanineUnproductiveSnarling Book:2001: A Space Odyssey Source: 2001: A Space Odyssey

“We can look at the way of improving the key biochemical processes like photosynthesis itself. A lot of energy is lost to keep the plant cool. So maybe we can think of building plants which are more resistant to heat. Genetically modified plants can be one answer and we can imagine more efficient plants, call them 'energy plants'. And I believe, contrary to what ecologists think, they can still be beautiful plants.” ThinkingWayBelieveLooksStillsBeautifulEnergyLostI BelieveProcessAnswersImagineBuildingKeysPlantContraryHeatEfficientImprovingGenetically ModifiedPhotosynthesis Author:Jean-Marie Lehn
