Sara, thanks for posting! Regulation or policy that are ready can always help sustainable development. Recently, as there is a report that about 70% of the world will be urbanized until 2050, sustainable urban development has been a big issue. Well-designed city planning can enable efficient energy use through green technology. Anyways, keep up the good work :-)

Hi Sara, I appreciate you writing this nice report! It is impressive how the technology can help us step further toward the eco-friendly world. Well, sometimes it does the exact opposite, just like we see from shale gas industry that became profitable only after new technology to break the surface beneath the sea bottom was invented. I hope more companies will find it more profitable and rewarding to develop green energy tech. Thanks for sharing Sara
