Scotland the Wave (tidal power takes over in the north)
Posted Tue, 20 Sep 2016 08:40:31 GMT by Paul RobinsonWave power or tidal power? The answer probably depends on where you are. If you have the frightening power that has always inspired names like Cape Wrath, then those tides should produce the most power in Europe. On the other hand, the regular movement of waves could well be capable of inspiring a design to accumulate energy over a lengthy period, albeit with less energy production per unit.

Is El Niño the elephant in Paris
or will it change the mindset there?
Posted Thu, 10 Dec 2015 19:57:00 GMT by JW.DoweyParis is becoming tense as every (sensible) nation negotiates how best to beat pollution and help those affected by global warming and its associated climate change One very large event in the Pacific is about to help us decide what is necessary in the most unpleasant way possible. Perhaps Paris will propel us to a united purpose--- or to ultimate pessimism?

Hybrid energy: bacteria+solar harvesting!
Posted Tue, 21 Apr 2015 09:14:16 GMT by Paul RobinsonHow soon will real solar harvesting take place on a truly large scale, that will make our use of fossil fuels truly obsolete? That question still needs a really astute answer, but the time is rapidly approaching, even if this new hybrid photosynthesis fails to deliver quickly enough.
