    RSPB and Ecotricity to build new wind turbine in green energy partnership (RSPB)

    Oh well, I guess we'll wait and see...Amber Rudd rekons she has a few proposals on her desk (But you're right, she'll probably chuck them in the bin). Look, you (those against onshore wind energy) have effectively won the political battle already. The current government has pretty well done...

    It's not an MIT study, it was a non peer reviewed op-ed that had to be corrected by the 'Economist'. The MIT method it was based on back in 2011 put wind generation (globally) marginally behind nuclear (with negligable roll out costs in comparison). Here. There's a blizzard of pwp being...

    When James Delingpole gets cited as a credible source I realise it's time to say bye.

    Not according to Bloomberg. In fact it's the cheapest of all. To be perfectly honest with you, I rekon that comparing the costs even with this sort of LCOE analysis is by no means a fair comparison anyway because it doesn't account for the enormous 'costs' that are externalised by fossil fuel...

    The UK is having more than enough trouble getting its act together to finance and replace the nuclear plants that are being decommissioned. Modular reactors (SMR's) will almost certainly play a role in a post fossil fuel energy mix ,but there's no getting away from the urgency of the situation...

    Ironically quite a lot of that per capita energy efficiency is probably down to warming winters. I agree, a lot more can be done to reduce overall energy demand and should be an absolute priority of any government policy. (Currently it isn't) Don't make the mistake of thinking that nuclear...

    RSPB and Ecotricity to build new wind turbine in green energy partnership (RSPB)

    Assuming you recognise that climate change is also a threat to UK bird life, what mix of low carbon energy resources would you suggest are employed in the next few decades to meet our obligations under the COP21 agreement, if that doesn't include some (carefully sited) onshore wind turbines? I...

    Equally many members will be delighted to see a conservation group work sympathetically with an energy provider to help deliver low carbon energy and a sustainable future.
