Reflection

   I really enjoyed the discussions on sustainable development and energy sources. I think energy production and usage is a major problem that needs immediate attention. I have always been fascinated with the building of efficient systems, particularly in the transportation industry. However i had not realized the extent of green technology's that are already being implemented in the residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The possibilities for green cities and self-sustaining cities is endless, many concepts and ideas are within are capabilities. Are major obstacle in the construction of these green cities is government support, but with growing populations and increasing demands and pollution of our environment I feel the governments only option is to get behind these projects and start helping fund them and promote further development by using tax brakes and subsidies for implementation of green technology's.
