TITAN is a bit of a hulk . It can lift a BMW into the air with just one arm, swing it around and then set it down again in exactly the same spot with barely a quiver. Moving cars is a piece of cake for the world's strongest robot. Built by KUKA, a large German robot-maker, Titan lifts 1,000kg and with its arm extended is as tall as a giraffe. It works out by moving huge concrete structures, steel-castings and pallets loaded with glass.

Aviation enthusiasts agree that the innovations behind general aviation began with the pursuits of the Wright brothers, two likeminded young men who built and controlled the world’s first successful human flight. But before their success could be attained, a bit of trial and error was required, as the two studied the workings of bicycles and printing machinery to learn how to propel their ambitions.

When New York City wanted to make the biggest purchase of subway cars in U.S. history in the late 1990s, more than 3 billion dollars worth, the only companies that were able to bid on the contract were foreign. The same problem applies to high-speed rail today: only European or Japanese companies could build any of the proposed rail networks in the United States. The U.S. has also ceded the high ground to Europe and Japan in a broad range of other sustainable technologies. For instance, 11 companies produce 96% of medium to large wind turbines; only one, GE, is based in the United States, with a 16% share of the global market. The differences in market penetration come down to two factors: European and Japanese companies have become more competent producers for these markets, and their governments have helped them to develop both this competence and the markets themselves.

The stereotypical Hollywood image of a freshly tapped oil field usually conjures up scenes of a wide-open scrubland dotted with cactus, a blazing overhead sun and a tall wooden derrick. Out of the top of the derrick sprays thick, black crude oil, covering everything around it, while oil-slicked riggers dance and rejoice at having finally struck “black gold.” As this somewhat fanciful image implies, oil and natural gas reserves trapped thousands of feet below ground are subject to hydrostatic pressure. This naturally occurring phenomenon drives the oil or gas to the surface, making it relatively easy to extract. This pressure, however, diminishes over time, even when substantial amounts of recoverable oil or gas still remain in the ground.
