Newsflash: Renewables are cheaper
As has often been said, the Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones. I therefore trust that people will not blithely dismiss me as anti-progress (I am just anti-18th Century technology). However, thanks to 350.org, I have been alerted to the fact that, over at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Giles Parkinson has announced today that: Renewables are now cheaper than coal and gas in Australia (7 Feb 2013)
Perhaps it is time to invest in renewables (both corporately and individually)? One thing seems certain:
They will never be superseded by anything else (except perhaps Fast Breeder Reactors).

We can hope that all businesses, that harm the environment, will see the profit in Ecologically based solutions!

I think that’s what sensible people everywhere call “living in harmony with our environment” (and what students of environmental politics call “ecological modernisation” – hence this)

I think we need to halt the use of bio-fuels, BBC Countryfile had segments in the broadcast of January 27 2013.

This will open your eyes to the nature of the anti-biofuels campaign the fossil fuel lobby has been – and is – waging:
