Would be working towards a lower carbon economy, no longer with the excuse of waiting for the developing economies. Strategic planning takes place under high uncertainty. Looking to the futu...

A climate conscious Christmas? This quote from George Monbiot from his Guardian article. Particularly struck me when I was considering my Christmassy blog post over the last few days. Although his attitude towards the Christmas mass consumerism does seem to me to be leaning towards the unnecessarily dour side ...

Energy Enquiry : 'Here comes the sun'
http://energyenquiry.blogspot.com/2014/01/here-comes-sun.html
Investigating our options for fuelling the future. Sunday, 12 January 2014. Here comes the sun'. Before university I spent a year working with a chemical engineering company making ink. I was a little disappointed to discover that this did not involve farming squid but instead mixing up various combinations of chemicals. I specialised in conductive inks and by far our the fasting growing demand was for solar cells. This hardly makes me an expert but means I have an interest in the area! MSci Earth Scienc...
