Credit Crunch

With all of the talk of banks failing and credit problems spinning around the world it feels like there may be a shift to good old fashioned values and with that maybe people will start caring again for engineering. For so long the brokers have considered themselves all important with huge salaries and stating that they are the backbone of the UK.

Well, maybe it is time the engineering community showed the bankers of the UK who fundamentally underpins the countries wealth and prosperity. With all of the environmental pressure and people looking for lower energy solutions the UK is in a good position.

Looking at it another way, not having so much money floating around may make people properly assess what is good for the environment rather than just what is trendy or over hyped by venture capitalist money.
