Robber fly - Nature photographer Thomas Shahan specializes in amazing portraits of tiny insects. It isn't easy. Shahan says that this Robber Fly (Holcocephala fusca), for instance, is "skittish" and doesn't like its picture taken.

“… 4 - Energy (again)

The natural resources of the planet are finite and will not support the continuation of what you've been doing. We've been saying this for a decade. Watch for increased science and increased funding for alternate ways of creating electricity (finally). Watch for the very companies who have the most to lose being the ones who fund it. It is the beginning of a full realization that a change of thinking is at hand. You can take things from Gaia that are energy, instead of physical resources. We speak yet again about geothermal, about tidal, about wind. Again, we plead with you not to over-engineer this. For one of the things that Human Beings do in a technological age is to over-engineer simple things. Look at nuclear - the most over-engineered and expensive steam engine in existence!

Your current ideas of capturing energy from tidal and wave motion don't have to be technical marvels. Think paddle wheel on a pier with waves, which will create energy in both directions [waves coming and going] tied to a generator that can power dozens of neighborhoods, not full cities. Think simple and decentralize the idea of utilities. The same goes for wind and geothermal. Think of utilities for groups of homes in a cluster. You won't have a grid failure if there is no grid. This is the way of the future, and you'll be more inclined to have it sooner than later if you do this, and it won't cost as much….”

UK government gives green light to offshore windfarm

East Anglia One windfarm, off the coast of Suffolk, could become one of the largest offshore windfarms in the world

An offshore windfarm which could become one of the largest in the world has been given the green light by the UK government.

Development of the East Anglia One windfarm, off the coast of Suffolk, will involve the installation of up to 240 turbines and, once built, will generate enough electricity to power around 820,000 homes.

The scheme is expected to support almost 2,900 jobs during construction and operation and bring more than £520 million of investment into the UK economy, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Decc) said.

Some 1,800 jobs could be supported locally and generate half a billion pounds for the East Anglian economy, Decc said, including £10m a year once it is completed.

Energy and climate change secretary, Ed Davey, said: “East Anglia and the rest of the UK have a lot to gain from this development.

“The project has the potential to inject millions of pounds into the local and national economies, and support thousands of green jobs.

“Making the most of Britain’s home grown energy is crucial in creating job and business opportunities, getting the best deal for customers and reducing our reliance on foreign imports.”

The scheme’s plan to install up to 240 wind turbines would make it significantly larger than the London Array, off the Kent coast, which is currently the largest offshore windfarm in the world.

Friends of the Earth’s head of campaigns, Andrew Pendleton, said: “This is fantastic news for energy security, jobs and the battle to tackle climate change. Ending our reliance on dirty fossil fuels by plugging into our abundant renewable power is absolutely vital for our future.

“It’s a shame however that the government continues to speak with a forked tongue on renewables. Simultaneously supporting and undermining the growing renewables industry, and having a meek ambition even for offshore wind, is no way to secure a clean supply of energy for the future.”

Ben Stafford, head of public affairs at WWF-UK, said: “Today’s decision is a strong vote of confidence for the UK’s offshore wind sector.

“Climate change is the biggest threat facing our oceans and seas globally and is already impacting on the UK’s rich marine environment. It’s therefore vital that we find ways to harness the clean energy that marine renewables, such as offshore wind, can provide.

“Projects at this scale will also help to reduce costs, boost jobs and investment and help to keep the lights on."
