14 Greatest Engineering Challenges

08/19/2015 8:11 AM

Here is a link to the 14 Greatest Engineering Challenges for the 21st Century:

http://www.networkworld.com/article/2350910/security/what-are-the-14-greatest-engineering-challenges-for-the-21st-century-.html

Apparently they want people to go to some site and rank them in order of importance.

The first in the list at the above link states:

"To make Solar Energy affordable"

Doh! I thought Solar Energy is already free, what do they think gives life to everything on earth?? More government sponsored smuck from the elite.

How does the list look to you guys and gals, is there anything missing from it?

Looks like click-bait to me.

Not only affordable, and with a smaller carbon foot print, because its carbon footprint it currently has is quite large............

I should actually number to that so I can hang my hat on.....

Yea, I noticed that after I posted it. I clicked on the link, it is a dead-end. Another program funded and paid for and abandoned after the press release.

I don't know about challenges, but the accomplishment of 10 watts of RF to go from Earth to Pluto and back, impressed the heck out of me.

The spam ain't so bad, but, if only there was a way to get posters to give enough background information on questions they pose. How many times have they been asked "more information please"!☼°
