Good to see a quick evolution. Hope it saves lives

I like the style of the bridge- but since it mainly uses the embankments as support, why is it so expensive? What kinds of materials is Calatrava suggesting?

I think this is an excellent idea, especially for bigger cities that have substantial urban decay. It's kind of like a farmer leaving land fallow, to be utilized in a different way in the future.

I think the key is to maximize a wind farm's impact vs. it's size. Keeping it compact (only a handful of vanes per location) would do well to help out a local community while keeping installation and maintenance costs down. Off-shore windfarms (like one off of Lake Erie, in my locale) would a viable option as well. In light of current energy costs, It's something we need to get the ball rolling on right away. As far as aesthetics go, that's a small issue, in my opinion. It's no worse than having an antenna array in an open location.

This could be huge, especially in the Midwest and Plains states, even in South America, Africa, and Asia. The question is, are government leaders (local, state,and federal) willing to be forward- thinking enough to make the investment in the foundation for wind energy?

I have to agree with the old man on this one.. The Wall St crisis, combined with the Iraq situation and our (lack of) standing in foreign affairs could combine into a perfect storm if we're not careful. Imagine if we remain in Iraq, spending untold $, and we lose credibility globally to the point foreign investors lose complete confidence in our economy and currency? It is imperative we select the right people to chart a course that will steer us away from this quagmire. I do not have confidence McCain is the right choice for these times.

I agree that technology will change the way business is done, but there will always be the need for face- to- face meetings, and thus, always the need for business travel. Yes, videoconferencing is efficient and less expensive, but the human need- the the need for a handshake, to look your customer/ vendor in the eye, will always be primary. Now commuting- that's a totally different animal.

This situation is rough, yes, but I don't think it is as bad as the 70's recession.. That situation seemed pretty hopeless..
