Since we are all supposed to worship market forces these days, increasing the price of energy is the obvious way to reduce consumption. A tax on energy would do this.
Hi,
I have made a study of climate change over the last 30 years. The temperature and the solar output (neutron flux) has increased steadily over the last 100 years then in 2006 the neutron flux suddenly stabilised then went down. I looked at this data (called Be10 lean slice) from the NOAA page and from the antarctic ice core studies on that page. The prediction they give is based on long term studies. There seems to be a 500 year cycle of hot to hot with a cold period in between. This has been going on for millions of years.
Every house in Britain has recently received a leaflet from the government about Swine Flu. At a time of a potential national threat, their action seems to me entirely proper.
So why can't they send out a similar leaflet to raise the public's awareness of the actual threat caused by the imminent decline of the cheap energy that we all currently use so much of? Younger voters, in particular, need to be hearing this message loud and clear, so that they will start to demand that their political leaders make the necessary provisions for future years.

More at the workshop at 12 o'clock on Saturday.
You know how it is - you're sat waiting for a train that's nearly an hour away because some poorly managed engineering works have completely ruined the normal timetable - and so you get to cogitating, ruminating, pondering, musing... so I wrote a letter to my MP about how Nuclear Power is not the answer to Climate Change. I've sent it via http://www.theyworkforyou.com and I've posted it on a little-known and rarely-accessed website http://www.workface-limited.co.uk/html/antinuclear.html and I feel so much better now.
The Commons Environmental Audit Committee is calling for the forecast energy gap mostly to be filled by a new wave of gas-fired power stations.
