By OneToRemember, on May 10th, 2011% With a little effort we can reduce our energy use at home. Energy efficient light bulbs, a degree lower on the heating, switching off the odd stand-by appliance will all help. But will this save energy? Why not I hear you cry! Well what will you do with the money you save? A drive to the . . . → Read More: Reducing energy use at home
By OneToRemember, on March 27th, 2011% Last week we visited the Rural Centre - a museum of village life. The museum is near Frensham in Surrey, UK. The 100 year old windpump provided the water supply for Copse Farm at Holmwood, six miles south of Dorking, until at least the 1960s. It then stood out of use but undamaged until the . . . → Read More: Windpumps in the UK
By OneToRemember, on October 16th, 2010% With more wind and solar on our grids in the future we can probably expect a more volatile energy source. this intermittentcy could lead to a much larger range of power prices as the market responds through price mechanisms to match the supply and demand imbalance. We know of several technologies available from pumped storage . . . → Read More: Power storage – technologies for the future

By OneToRemember, on April 5th, 2010% Wind power is often chosen either because an electrical mains supply is not available on practical grounds such as with some caravans, houseboats etc. or because it is too expensive to install because of the remote location. It would be unlikely that wind power could provide all the electricity required and therefore additional means of generating electricity may need to be considered. . . . → Read More: Topping up wind generated electricity
