Now if you were not worried about Global warming before you should be now.
It is very very very important that we stop it.
It is the most important physical issue the human race has ever faced.
Currently we are messing up.
Lets go renewable. - lets win the war (on global warming).
'A hydrogen fuel cell that uses enzymes instead of expensive metal catalysts to drive chemical reactions has been developed by UK researchers.'
look here
Global Warming is most definitely happening. It is definitely caused by increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. This is scientifically proven based on experiments carried out in laboratories since before 1900 on the properties of carbon dioxide - it reflects infra red radiation. If you do not understand this then the Guardian has an interactive guide. If you tell me that it is down to a natural cycle and that the Romans grew grapes in Northumberland then I tell you that they still grow grapes near Leeds and that there is enough scientific evidence to convince anyone who is not denying to support their own short term interests, several times over.
I would suggest that all new houses and those having extensions requiring planning permission should be required to produce 50% of their energy from renewable sources and that a tax based a percentage of the council tax should be levied to pay for subsidies with the tax being removed if the house had more than 50% of its energy produced from Renewables - if the percentage increased per anum then everybody would suddenly consider micro-generation through Renewables a very attractive option. Of course this idea needs work before it could become a policy but I think it is a good idea. - but then that is me
Definitely not nuclear and never nuclear.
