Air travel to get more energy efficient?
is an interesting contrast to the way that the Government has treated water heating, where for £45 million, there are existing ways to reduce emission. One of the stories that crept under my personal radar a couple of week ago related to aircraft engines. Aircrafts account of 2% of the greenhouse gas emissions. The impact of this

Industry responds to Government Strategic Defense Review
by Michael Smith (Veshengro) The Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC) gave a cautious welcome to the Government’s announcement of the intended Strategic Defense Review (SDR) for the next parliament, and encourages the review to seek input from industry. In addition to the critical factors of security for the nation, SBAC is keen to ensure that the SDR will recognize that the UK defense industry, by the Government’s own criteria, is one of the top three sectors for re-balancing the UK economy towards hi-tech, hi-value industries. Anyone can, obviously, imagine what kind of input the defense industry is going to make to such a review.

Information gathered by government authorities about practices that impact the population at large should be made public. Since we have so many regulations and administrative bodies governing many areas of our society the more open the better. Some people feel that fish farming, particularly for salmon, create environmental problems. You can read about it here .
