Urban Sprawl
There is no doubt that urban sprawl is a major contributor to the ecological decimation of now-massive portions of formerly undisturbed wilderness in the U.S., and in many other developed countries.

The Solar Highway
Can you imagine the energy harnessing potential we would have if the roads we drove on every day were solar paneled?
Think about the heat that hits the roads everyday. In the not so far past, you may have even seen the heat rising from the roads on a hot hot day. This may give you an idea of how much the sun's heat hits the road. It seems like such a waste to do nothing with this potential energy.

The Electric Highway
One of the biggest problems with electric vehicle technology is the lack of a plug-in infrastructure on our roads. But that problem is about to disappear — at least for some commuters on Highway 101 going between San Francisco and Los Angeles — thanks to a so-called “electric highway” of five recharging stations between the two cities.

The T-shirt Machine
I've said it before, and I'll say it again; vending machines are the ultimate business of convenience. And as long as people keep developing the technology and making them available on the market; we'll never see an end to the type of products that are dispensed.
