Yeh, I'm sure I can stump up somesuch payment also. Let us know details of how to pay when you're ready.

The site's a great idea; I'd see myself more inclined to get involved with that, initially, than with TTs. Local Power is a more approachable alternative for some, I'd imagine.

Good to hear all the points.

That may be a bit different to what we're...

Hi, I just wanted to conduct a small opinion poll of what others think about the viability of sustainable cities / sustainable urban design come PO? I've half been thinking of doing a Masters, or similar, in something like the Kings College Sustainable Cities MSc https://wwwcache1.kcl.ac.uk/schools/...

I don't think I can offer any advice other than to sympathise with you- I was working and wandering around Canada and Europe for t...

RenewableCandy said Any thermal power station (coal gas or come to that nuclear), i.e. one with hot steam driving turbines, tends to have an efficiency of 30% to 40%. Perhaps this is the origin of Jane's figure? I'm not sure where the figure came from- the points came to me by group email and we tho...

For anyone interested, here is the email poster for Fossil Fools Day events in London: Despite introducing the Climate Change Bill, the government is set to approve, within the next month, the construction of a new coal-fired power plant in Kingsnorth, with 8 others closely following. If these are a...

Chris, looks like our 'coal conference' at the weekend wasn't too exhaustive eh !!! ! got too distracted by wine and 'cupcakes'

biffvernon said: It's worth reading the article by Fred Pearce in this week's New Scientist on the state of carbon capture and storage. To sum up, it'll take about the lifetime of a new power station before the technology will be rolled out on any meaningful scale so insisting that Kingsnorth will b...

adam2 said: And anyway it all seems it a bit pointless when China is building two large coal burning power stations every week! I know! clv101 just told me this at the weekend, so very depressing!! My main opposition to coal, realistic or not, is that it's just so unsustainable and that the importan...

Danza said: Good luck with your campaigning. Should you need any further support, keep Powerswitch posted. thank you! clv101 said: It's far far less. More like 7%, with 5% of that being in the local, low voltage grid. Certainly less than 10%. It is a big myth that the high voltage, long distance 400...

I'm currently helping with raising opposition to Kingsnorth coal power plant and we're trying to make up a leaflet with some quick stats on it, such as: 'the proposed kingsnorth station will release more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere than Ghana's total emissions pa.' 'The amount of C02 em...
