To all those who dislike wind turbines... SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Earth is running out of fossil fuels (not to mention nuclear fuels which will be gone in about eight years) and our planet is choking to death. If you live in some Yorkshire valley and are campaigning against wind turbines please identify...

Did you know Germany has the most PV solar panels out of any country in the world- they have made solar panels economically viable, so lots of people are buying into the idea. If they can do it, why can't the UK? Also microgeneration is great- when homes/businesses generate their own power, using...

Welcome to Footprint friends Betty Boo :) I would say you are spot on about the rejection. Motor sport is a huge sport which has lots of money involved in it. Alternative fules would be great but it would have to be introduced in the right way. maybe they should start off by making sure their emissions...

I see your point. I don't know how much motor sports contribute to carbon emissions, but perhaps alternative fuels could be used. If sports cars used greener fuels then people may realise that they don't have to sacrifice petrol for performance. There could be a ripple effect that encourages...
