more liberal drivel about how there are some ready made engineering cures out there right now to solve everything, including world hunger.

ANother useless 'paid blogger' with no answers, just words upon words, with no conclusions, or specific proved suggestions, or validated insight.

I would really like to see the proof in the pudding.

Laura Schewel, an environmental engineer with the Rocky Mountain Institute, agrees that good engineering can let us have our cake and eat it too.

what would an ENVIRONMENTAL engineer know about internal combustion engines or crash structures?
