I don't have all the answers for how to come up with the funds for a building project this size, but there are people doing very real research on how to go about such things. Maybe we should just tell them that their education has been wasted and they really should just go back to the factories.
I'm not doubting that people are researching about these things but I have yet to see anything remotely close to funding planning for building a mega Eco-pyramid and others like it. Obviously a lot of thought and research is going into the technology and creativity aspect but I have seen little on how such things will be undertaken and accomplished economically. Not saying they aren't out there but I am saying, show me.

Now if we're talking about building modifications like retrofitting for more efficient energy use, newer technologies being implemented in building projects, yeah they're out there but they're obviously fiscally feasible.

You're the money guy. Fix the financial crisis, and then I'll show you the people who have needs. It's not my financial crisis. lol

The population growth is a problem and that's that. Denial ain't a river in Egypt.

Maybe I'll move to some jungle in SE Asia. Build a bamboo hut with a small elephant to ride into town. Have some killer bud growing outside my window and some toppless eurasian native teenie boppers to keep my pipes well maintained.

I may not live as long but damn!!!! What a life while it lasts!

I wouldn't worry too much about overpopulation, the H1N1 Flu is gonna wipe out a bunch of people.
