A brace of videos on the most bracing of energy solutions.

When I watch videos like this, I want to shout from the roof top in frustration “WHY AREN’T WE ALREADY DOING THIS?!”

In the light of the ongoing and increasingly worrisome Horizon oil spill it becomes even more relevant.

I’d like to draw to attention in particular to one comment made about 5 mins into the second video. Germany went from no wind energy to 25% of its electricity from wind (on an average month, 50% on a good one) in 8 years. 8 YEARS! We could have this cracked in two decades and we don’t need nuclear power to do it.

About Nell

I am a researcher in bionanotechnology currently living and working in Tokyo. I moved out here nearly three years ago, against my better judgement but in search of adventure. It has certainly been an adventure and not one I would have missed for the world. I am trying to retrain as a designer and you may see the odd example of my work appear here as I progress. I also indulge in opinionated rambling.
