underwear shortage

Europe is suffering from underwear shortage because it has tried to cut itself off from cheap Chinese goods. If China ever becomes a first-world country with first-world luxury, who will take over for cheap labor?

Still, first-world luxury may be unsustainable, but there are developments from NASA that will enable us to drink water extracted from urine, along with the usual intensive water-recycling industrial complex.

Finally, Energy Innovations, part of IdeaLab, is experimenting with a solution to the high cost of manufacturing solar cell. Why not use mirrors arranged in sunflower position, concave-shaped? They would concentrate light to one small area, at which you can position the solar cell.

The future is unconventional.
