5 things on climate change: Blog Action Day

Blog Action Day This is my post in support of the Blog Action Day on Climate Change.

1. In the UK The 2008 Energy Act contains powers for the introduction of feed-in tariffs in Great Britain to incentivise renewable electricity installations up to a maximum capacity of 5 MW. This could be introduced next year which will be a shot in the arm for individuals and small businesses to look at investing in renewal energy sources which historically have shown a very long return on investment vs. staying with fossil fuel powered electricity.

2. In the USA, the Helix Corporation are about to start trialling self powered mobile ‘phone masts which have the potential to reduce energy requirements from the grid whilst also maximising the footprint of mobile ‘phone masts.

3. T. Boone Pickens - a very successful corporate raider is turning his attention to renewable energy – The Pickens Plan is aiming to raise awareness of energy saving as well as investing in renewable energy sources. T. Boone Pickens is a very smart man, and very successful, his attention to this, an his injection of personal wealth into the project offers hope for the future of renewable energy.

4. Do the Green Thing offers fun ways to be greener, with one new idea every month. If you like the ideas, share them and feel the love!

5. The Kyoto Treaty
