This video on Youtube by David Mackay,is worth watching,  its not a site with loads on meaningless numbers, it is pulled down into realistic numbers that mean something. By the look of it, he wants Newclear, energy, I am not a big fan, but as he says its that or drastically change our energy imput/ person.

I would like to know the real cost of these new energy saver bulbs we all should be using, the real cost of TV’s left on standby and what different PV, solar,  and smart grids would make, I’m still confused and on the fence until some one gives me a real set of numbers, Carbon tax is in my view miss leading.

Can we as technologist make the difference in our detailing and choosing materials, I don’t get the whole story here, but its interesting, watch and then keep on asking questions, until you get the right answers. I like the ice machine I talked about, I like the idea of solar PV but he did not mention this, why.

I think I have come across this technology before, but never seen a decent video on it, so have a look at this little intro to Ice Energy and see what you think, its still using power but at night when there is hopefully spare.  if the power generation system keeps producing electrcity, say via wind, why waste it !
