Will we change, is of course the million dollar question. As you know, I do my bit for the planet in bringing renewable energy to a developing country...

But I've also found a yacht I want to buy that burns 100 liters of diesel per hour, or every 9 miles.

Now here's the thing (man maths alert) for every average domestic PV system installed I can travel 90 miles and burn just under a tonne of diesel. But, that PV system will save many, many times that amount in its 25 year life.

So, am I still doing my bit?

Of course. Doing something is better than most, who are doing nothing.

Well, I've done something. I've just switched energy provider from So Energy to Green, which not only gives me 100% renewable gas and electricity but also saves me close on £200 per annum. Or, to put it another way, two tanks of super unleaded. Nice.

Where does this renewable gas come from?

Nice work Adam

I think we are with Bulb and using 100% renewable electricity as well. No gas as have oil. Just got a nice £2k+ cheque back from SSE though from the solar panels. Nice xmas pressie to replenish the coffers.....for about 5 maybe 6 mins

So how do they stop the non eco electricity / gas getting down the same lines / pipes to your house? ;0)

There’s a connector supplied so you can plug into your local cow or pig, you’ll need a two into one adapter if you want to use sheep.

Underground, silly. Just wait a few million years.

Sorry, I should have typed renewable electricity, carbon neutral gas.

My contribution is :-

Knocking 500RPM off the rev limit of the 3200GT, and keeping tyre smoke down to a minimum...

But Allen, all your currant cars are deemed to be highly polluting by the powers that be and not fit for future use

Agreed, but old enough to have low road tax, and cause less pollution than building a new one or manufacturing a battery system. Man maths/logic can be applied to most things

I think Dave was just poking the Bear

I didn't think it was sunny enough here?

Pah! It'll never catch on...

Apparently it is it seems. SSE have messed up readings so many times it is comical.

I might look at putting something on the new office to see if it can power itself. Some research required I think

All energy is renewable...

It’s the bills that are renewable, I imagine.

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed: energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Great conservation of energy, there.
