   Another constraint - considering future generations is   
   great, and should be done, but they are not infinitely   
   more important than the present, and they are the ones   
   who benefit from technological improvement, so have   
   a less constrained environment.   
      
   So don't impact performance/cost of the present by more   
   than say 10%.
