UK solar power now on hold
Posted Mon, 30 Jul 2012 07:16:21 GMT by Michael EvansEngland has over 16,000 Anglican churches plus another 20,000 from other demominations. The roofs of these churches provide excellent locations for solar panels and the feed-in tariff previously made viable the heavy costs involved in installation. The reduction in the tariff has led to many abandoned projects. With 'green' targets to meet, was this a wise move on the part of the Government?

Solar Day 2012
Posted Wed, 20 Jun 2012 04:01:00 GMT by Michael EvansA day to celebrate and promote solar energy. As technology advances, improved efficiency and lower prices are making solar power the energy of the future. Solar Days around the world, allbeit on different days, are doing their bit to raise awareness, but as this form of energy becomes yet more popular it will effectively begin to promote itself especially as fossil fuels begin to run out.
