The world’s population would benefit greatly from the construction of two billion decentralised solar electric generation stations doubling as homes for the disenfranchise and impoverished. This is possible due the creation oh the global smart-grid and modern sodium- sulphur batteries. Judo housing and energy solutions

This is a very positive evolution but it needs some more into depth research. Europe’s policy has a very hypocritical downside to this story because the carbon that can be produced each year stays the same. This means, when for example germany invests in wind/solar ..energy, the carbon that is saved there, can be used elsewhere(this simply stated, it’s all a consequence of the even more hypocritical carbon emmission trading program. Result : the carbon emission of europe will rather stay the same. Bottemline is, green technology/green design has to be looked at in different perspectives. A good policy or change of habit, counters the rising carbon emissions. Good design, new technology can help, but the key to succes is to use this in a good way. I think inhabitat could use some more critical texts about how things really are(not trying to be pessimistic but just not to see as technology and design is THE solution to global warming). Putting more daring opinions and critical texts out here could make this site even more intresting! Still love the site though as it works very inspirational to many people.

It is a fact of life. People will continue to use more and more electricity. Alternate means of electricity production is the key. Wind and solar are our two main “free” sources and we are learning to harness these better every day. All it takes if for everyone to help out just a little bit.
