28th January 2008
"Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."

EU 20/20/20 by 2020
• UK Target = 15% of all energy from renewables by 2020 (cf 1.5% currently)
• Suggested that to meet this some 36% of electricity will come from wind by 2020 (onshore & offshore)
• ~36% of Electricity = 123,120,000,000 kWh/annum
• Or 46,849 MW of wind needed by 2020 (BWEA say 33,000 MW)
• Equal to 15,000 x 3MW turbines
• 3,750 MW/annum
• 1,250 x 3MW turbines/annum
• Or 5 per day (weekends off!) for the next 12 years
• 2007 saw UK deliver 450 MW (need a 9 fold increase in rate of deployment compared with last year)
The heart of the matter DEMAND REDUCTION
• In 2003 final consumption of E was 336,218GWh
• In 2007 final consumption of E was 341,945GWh
• Up 1.7% or 5,727GWh
• All wind projects (on and offshore) in 2007
generated some 5,274GWh of E
• This was just 92% of the extra electricity we used over 48 months ending 2007
• Simplistically we are collectively squandering the efforts to DECARBONISE because we are failing
to reduce DEMAND
We’re seeking to deliver
on the 3Ds:
Demand Reduction
Decarbonisation
Decentralisation
To Address: Climate Change + Energy Security
+ Finite Fossil Fuel = The Same Actions
To help: deliver on the UK’s
commitment to the climate change challenge, whilst helping to ensure that
there is a sustainable, secure and affordable supply of energy for everyone.
We aim to contribute to these goals in ways that strengthen the economic
capability, social capital and reputation of the areas in which we work.
With some principles:1. We don’t seek to duplicate existing
effective activity
2. Seek to develop activity, product &
service which meet an unmet need
(vacuum test)
3. Need to inject some regional & sub-
regional vision
4. We like portfolio funding (£1 = £5)
5. Not keen on ‘dominant’ contracts
(honest broker test)

What is 1% of GDP?
• UK GDP (08/09) = £1,463,000,000,000
• 1% = £14,630,000,000 (£14.6 billion)
• £243.83 per person
• British Taxpayers have just provided £600

MPs to taste award-winning beer
A Shropshire brewery is to have one of its beers put on sale at the House of Commons.
Hobson’s Mild will be the guest beer in the Strangers Bar in the run up to Christmas after a request by MP for Ludlow, Philip Dunne.
The beer is brewed in his constituency in Cleobury Mortimer, near Ludlow, and was voted the best in Britain at the Great British Beer Festival in August.
The 3.2% drink was described by judges as having "plenty of hop character".
It was selected ahead of more than 50 beers, some made by major brewers, in eight different categories.
"It is good to see a decade of hard work bearing fruit so well in my constituency," Mr Dunne said.
The Hobson's Brewery was established in 1993. Story from BBC NEWS:

Low Carbon Community Overview
Never before have our emerging environmental crises been laid out so clearly before us. Rather than shouting from the fringes, respected
economists, scientists, and politicians are sounding the warnings in high-profile journals and the halls of government – warnings that our
oceans are dying, that the ice shelves are melting, and that we are setting ourselves up for the most massive and devastating market
failure humanity has ever seen.
So we recycle. We vote greener. We buy sleek new hybrid cars and fill our houses with energy efficient light bulbs. And we put our money and faith in the brave and ingenious technologies that will rescue us from
the whirlwind.
But it won’t be enough.
Because this is not, fundamentally a technological problem. Nor is it, fundamentally, a political problem. This is a problem of appetites, and
of self deceit. The planet is breaking, and it is breaking under the weight of our hunger for more.
To reform the world, we must first reform ourselves.

“Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.”David Ogilvy 1911-1999
‘If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.’
