Chapter Six: Engineers and Architects

     Step aside, please, we're coming through. 
     We're the coming generation of engineers, getting ready to build the next generation of wind turbines.
     We're the coming generation of architects, getting ready to design a new kind of city, with a new kind of schools, and a new way of getting around. 
     We're kids now.  At least, you older folks who are dumping your mess in our laps probably look upon us as kids.  We look upon you as Neanderthal II.
     So step aside, please.  We're coming through.
     This time, we're going to do it differently.  We're going to work with Mother Nature, not against her.  We're going to work with the sun, and with the wind. 
     What are you going to work with?  A leaky bucket of oil.
    
     So we're out exploring.  Mother Nature is our classroom now.
