solarize your pad $25K
the typical homeowner can make his home 100% solar powered for about $25K or less. Then no more electric bills ever, and maybe the utility will pay you some money for the excess power you generate. Just Do It!

John Nash game hex
Mathmatician John Nash created this board game. Hex. In game theory, the Nash equilibrium (named after John Forbes Nash, who proposed it) is a solution concept of a game involving two or more players, in which no player has anything to gain by changing only his or her own strategy unilaterally. If each player has chosen a strategy and no player can benefit by changing his or her strategy while the other players keep theirs unchanged, then the current set of strategy choices and the corresponding payoffs constitute a Nash equilibrium.
Stated simply, you and I are in Nash equilibrium if I am making the best decision I can, taking into account your decision, and you are making the best decision you can, taking into account my decision. Likewise, many players are in Nash equilibrium if each one is making the best decision (s)he can, taking into account the decisions of the others.
St. Petersburg paradox
In probability theory and decision theory, the St. Petersburg paradox describes a particular lottery game (sometimes called St. Petersburg Lottery) that leads to a random variable with infinite expected value, i.e. infinite expected payoff, but would nevertheless be considered to be worth only a very small amount of money. The St. Petersburg paradox is a classical situation where a naïve decision theory (which takes only the expected value into account) would recommend a course of action that no (real) rational person would be willing to take. The paradox can be resolved when the decision model is refined via the notion of marginal utility or by taking into account the finite resources of the participants. Some economists claim that the paradox is resolved by noting that one simply cannot buy that which is not sold (and sellers would not produce a lottery whose expected loss to them were unacceptable).
The paradox is named from Daniel Bernoulli's presentation of the problem and his solution, published in 1738 in the Commentaries of the Imperial Academy of Science of Saint Petersburg (Bernoulli 1738). However, the problem was invented by Daniel's cousin Nicolas Bernoulli who first stated it in a letter to Pierre Raymond de Montmort of 9 September 1713.

boats
Above is the Gibbs Boat-Car made in Australia. Below is the EarthRace biodesiel ship which planned to circumnavigate the earth in under 75 days. It collided with a fishing boat 22km off Guatemala where one of the fisherman was killed. That ended the attempt.
