You remember, from BBC2’s “Its not easy being Green”. Well you can as the Telegraph has an article on them today too. [...] [...] Also want to catch up on how the Strawbridge’s are doing?

At the local goverment level there is the potential for driving the uptake of micro-generation of power by changing the requirements for new housing developments. Local goverment can also support installations by clarifying the planning laws. However although the application of the above is being applied it is very variable, and nowhere is it as advanced as it perhaps should be. However education and businesses seem to be the main focus of goverment at present. The onus therefore is on the individual to move things forward. The Business Case If micro-generation is to become widespread the value to the individual needs to be clear and this will be the subject of a later full article. Technologies The required technologies certainly exist with a significant number of companies manufacturing small wind power turbines in the UK alone. This of course increases dramatically if you expand your search outside of the UK. There are a number of different technical approaches being developed for wind power and these will also be the subject of a full article. If you feel this article has been useful, or is perhaps missing some key information please let me know by commenting below.
