Climate Change

I saw this yesterday and just had to share it! i think its ingenious. It was part of a display of fourteen arresting images called "Postcards from the Future".

"The display brings home the full impact of global warming, food scarcity, rising sea levels and how all Londoners will have to innovate and adapt to survive" http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk

The center of London is covered with water as giant wind turbines are set to work throughout. Just enrolled myself in the "Offshore Wind Power: Economics & Risk" day training course at the Green Power Academy on the 11th April, so i thought this image was very fitting! I'll be flying back from Nice on the Sunday evening after the Grand Prix in San Remo, the course starts at 9am Monday morning and goes on all day, really excited about this!

Wake-up Call

"While switching from coal to gas helps reduce emissions in the short term, sooner or later gas becomes part of the problem. While gas emits less than half the CO2 of coal, it still emits ten times more CO2 than wind and other renewables".

Steve Sawyer - Global Wind Energy Council

Hmmm... we (Europe) might not be doing as well as we think.

Going Green

Just finished reading "Developing Wind Power Projects" by Tore Wizelius, and now my new book has arrived! Its waiting for me at home, so if my flight from Cork to London ever takes off, it won't be too soon.

Renewable energy is the future, and I'm determined to be a market player, one way or another.
