Is anyone else slightly disappointed about this coming out of Google X? Don&#x27;t get me wrong, it&#x27;s a good business idea, bringing together otherwise disparate data sources, capturing tailwinds of sustainable building trends, seems like a differentiated product etc. etc. but it&#x27;s not really the &quot;moonshot&quot; or game changer that Google X purports itself to be developing (potentially why they spun it out?).<p>I read this article recently which I thought was very good, but it paints a very different picture of the types of things that should be coming out of Google X. This type of Company is something I would have expected out of an incubator.<p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/28/meet-astro-teller-head-of-moonshots-at-googles-project-x-lab/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;03&#x2F;28&#x2F;meet-astro-teller-head-of-m...</a><p>Anyone else feel this way?

I&#x27;m surprised you are allowed to take your work from within Google and turn it into a personal startup.

The whole premise for the purpose always bothers me; the argument that with population projections what we have to do is accommodate unsustainable growth with &quot;sustainable&quot; buildings.<p>There is something really weird about humanity&#x27;s inability to even bring up the fact that we are reproducing at rates that are inherently unsustainable and could even lead to become a catalyst for extinction. There is no sustainable building method or process that will do anything more than prolong the inevitable. It&#x27;s a rather odd perspective in, at least the USA, that &quot;green&quot;, environmentally friendly, and &quot;sustainable&quot; are nothing of the sort. &quot;Green&quot; means using images of leaves on high gloss unnecessary packaging; &quot;environmentally friendly&quot; means using some wood with abandon as to where it&#x27;s from; and &quot;sustainable&quot; means simply continuation of anything, whether good or bad.<p>The sustainable design issue has actually already been solved in many ways; it&#x27;s just that the solutions don&#x27;t fit in with people&#x27;s unwillingness to give up anything.
