We need more capability to store solar and wind generated energy. Water pumped to a high level storage place during peak generation and allowed to flow through turbines to a low storage place during low generation periods would be part of the solution (as used in at least one Welsh Power station). New high rise builds should have a top floor and basement storage tanks for this purpose. There are many ways to save energy e.g. all traffic lights to LED’s etc.

Why are there not turbines on every weir on every waterway in the country? Up until quite recently there were hundreds of water powered mills taking energy from our waterways.

As population declines and land becomes available big steps should be made to reforest and to growing other biomass crops with a view to generating as much of our energy as we can from plant material in efficient clean power stations. As the Carbon Dioxide released is only Carbon dioxide that was trapped by plants over recent years rather than locked away in fossil fuels millions of years ago.

It’s criminal that people take in high energy foods and instead of doing useful work they will go to the Gym to burn off calories, these gyms are plugged in so that people can have digital displays of their energy use and watch TV or listen to music. What a waste, all gyms should be self-powering, the energy you generate from the treadmill / bike needs to power the gym. Gyms get 12months to convert or are closed.
