Best Wishes for 2015

Creativity is the key to sustainability.


Previous posts have all dealt with the economic, environmental and ethical abuses so I felt I should start off the new year with some solutions, options and better ways of doing things.

Green light for world’s largest planned tidal energy project in Scotland


Though tidal power has been around for a long time, the search for renewable energy has led to increased interest in this energy resource. Energy can be harnessed from the tides in two ways: using the change in height of the tides (potential); and using the flow of the water (kinetic).
The project has the potential to power nearly 175,000 homes through a network of 269 turbines on the seabed at Ness of Quoys in Caithness, north-east Scotland.

Groundbreaking Biofuel Project Could Clean Up Mines Worldwide 


Scientists hope clean-up operation at tin mine will lead to global environmental benefits. If researchers succeed in using algae to harvest precious heavy metals in polluted water and simultaneously producing biofuel, toxic sites around the world could be made clean and ecologically well again.
