Environment - December 2006

I wonder why we can't have smaller scale generation facilities, getting rid of the grid maintenance problems and generate power locally and distribute locally. Utilize solar, hydro, co-gen, and wind where they are available. Making people more efficient on a small scale could solve some of our large scale problems!

Do I need to explain this better?
…one that made us better adapted to survive, a complete reversal of course - we knew there would be fewer wars, less environmental harm, less crime, etc. Does 'Better adapted' mean that a species is better equipped to survive After WWII there were less people dying in wars? Right? But was it a step forward, in terms of our survival? Would there be less war? Would there be less crime? Would there be less environmental harm into the future? Haven’t we brought ourselves closer to destruction? Does evolution imply that we are more evolved than other species? No other species has done more to destroy the world. To apply the theory better, what If we expand that to the long-term - Did evolution make us better equipped to survive than in all previous steps? Did ‘cavemen’ come anywhere close to destroying the world? And long-term – what will happen?

I am doing a project on biomimicry and I know that Mercedez Benz made a concept car modeled after the boxfish for its aerodynamical abilities. But now I need to find at least two more cars that have been modeled from some sort of fish.
