I’ve survived a 160kph car crash—the floating shrapnel confetti that used to be Federation’s armada shows no one survives space wrecks. You can see more stunning concept art James Clyne did for Star Trek, The Fountain and Minority Report and more at his site: [James Clyne via io9]
Here’s one way to raise energy consciousness: Share Aware lights are connected to each other by radio, and share a finite amount of energy. When you make one brighter, the others get proportionately dimmer, but dim yours, and the rest get brighter. I can’t see any problem with that.

That’s Page as in Larry Page, of Google. His law is the inverse of the Moore’s Law: Software gets twice as slow every 18 months.
