Top trends in 2007

Thanks to a ever Green-conscious world, this year could easily be the year of Energy.

The top most that comes to mind is the revival of nuclear, solar & bio-fuel energy. While bio-fuel didn't seem to live upto the hype, the action in the rest of the renewable sources is interesting to see.

Next comes the action Electric/ Emission-Free vehicles - Aptera, Tesla, Venturi and the rest.

Dollar hitting historic lows, oil hitting record-setting highs were interesting not only because everyone had long predicted these but also because people apparently had better things to worry about than this (housing finance, environment).

In the early years of the decade i would have easily sworn that this first decade in the new millenium - just as the last decade in the last was all about computing and the internet - is going to be the year of bio-tech/stem-cells/genetic engineering. But the green/ ecology-concerns overtook anything i could have ever imagined for bio-tech.

Thank God, how boring that would be - to live in a world where everything happens the way everyone foresaw it.
