Bill Thomson and Philippa Martin-King introduce WattWatt, an online community for individuals interested in electrical energy efficiency.

Capturing Solar Energy in orbit and beaming it down to Earth in a 24 hours a day controlled process, in combination with hydrogen technology, apppears as one of the global, clean and sustainable solutions to replace fossil fuels. The application is expected to be operational in 30 years from now, and technological development is already underway.

Just arrived at the office this morning and found Andy Reisinger from the IPCC team that wrote the reports on climate change that made all of the noise at Bali in December 2007. It seems that New Zealanders are taking over this issue since both Andy and Nigel Jollands (http://wattwatt.com/wattwatters/members/440/) who is the key person on climate change at the International Energy Agency in Paris are kiwis - something to do with the beautiful landscape? Andy is speaking at the wattwatt event tonight about his own thoughts on what society can do to combat the climate change. Jonathan
