The gold fish bowl effect

When you truly look at our planet, even our universe in simplistic terms, what has occurred to create life is just a series of chemical reactions. The many sun’s we see in the night sky are just hydrogen and helium balls reacting, our planet we call Earth is a ball of molten iron which hasn’t [...]

Feed in tariffs rate for solar electric panels reinstated

In a court judgement yesterday, the feed in tariffs rate was reinstated to 41.3 pence per kWh after the government was found to have cut the tariff unlawfully. That’s the good news; however, the higher rate will only be applicable to solar panels installations completed before the 3rd March. Again this will create the same [...]

How might the world really end in 2012?

The end of the world scenarios is as fascinating as much as it is feared. The end of the Mayan 5,125 year cycle is now upon us and a new epoch in human and planetary time will soon arrive – or so goes the theory! Whether you think that the theory will be proved wrong, [...]

A longer term view of energy

I would like to begin this article with a simple plea to the solar industry. The terms ‘alternative energy’, ‘micro-generation’ and ‘green energy’ really doesn’t inspire one or ‘cut the mustard’. A better way to describe solar panels, wind turbines and other similar technologies would be ‘self-generation technologies’. These phrases, which are used within our [...]

Did you know that there are more solar panels installed in the north of the United Kingdom than the south, proving once and for all that solar does work well in the British climate? This data covers the period 2010/ 20011 as the feed in tariffs, which reward pioneer adopters of both solar electric and [...]

Solar panels are for life, not just for Christmas

With the overwhelming success of the feed in tariffs for solar panels in 2010 and 2011, I am sure you have noticed them on the roofs of homes in your area, and in the future, will continue to do so at an ever-increasing rate. The reason for this is simple. Stuart Lovatt, the founder of [...]

Why the future is bright for solar panels

With the reduction of the feed in tariffs scheme rates this week and with all the negative media attention that this has brought, you may be forgiven for thinking that solar panels are a technology of the past, like teasmaids or the unforgettable Sinclair C5’s. The reality however, will be more and more solar panels [...]

How Iran could cause an energy crunch

Could Iran cause an energy crunch? It’s been said that the line between order and disorder is the thin blue line of the law. I would also like to enhance this saying by exchanging the word ‘line’ for ‘pipeline’. The pipeline concerned is the one carrying oil supplies from Iran which, over the last decade, [...]

Homage to our planet Earth

I doff my cap to the BBC’s stunning series called ‘Frozen Planet’ (Catch up on iplayer) which has captured the extreme frozen poles in an amazing deluge of picture perfect realism and tell it like it is, approach. The programmes approach to dealing with the effects, causes and irrefutable proof of our planet changing and [...]
