• People power - a realistic solution to britain's energy crisis?

  24th February 2010

  “Individual householders becoming little generation plants and selling power back into the system is a wonderfully attractive and seductive idea,” says Professor Dieter Helm, an energy policy expert at Oxford University, who also advises the government. “We would all like to be our own power stations and make money.”   But Professor Helm fears this is an idealistic solution. This method of producing energy is extremely expensive because it’s unreliable, so it...

• Emissions reductions are misleading, says government's new science adviser

  1st October 2009

  Britain's reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases are misleading, according to the government's new chief scientist. Professor David MacKay told the BBC that greenhouse gas emissions created by Britons are probably twice as bad as official figures suggest. The figures are distorted because developing countries now made the goods that Britain buys, he said. "Our energy footprint has decreased over the last few decades and that's largely because we've exported our industry," MacKay said. "...

  Don't blow our £100 billion on wind power

  16th July 2009

  Article in The Times - may also be found HERE. Instead of pouring money into renewable energy, we should invest in technology that will really tackle climate change. Climate change is an existential threat. It presents huge challenges to governments and, inevitably, we will have to pay a significant price to keep the temperature from rising by more than two degrees. Politicians across the world increasingly understand this. This is in itself a big step forward in the build-up to the Copenhagen...
