Not so renewable

A highly successful Government grants scheme designed to increase the uptake of solar power, and consequently improve the market and drive costs down, is to be scrapped three years into its supposed ten year lifespan. The Government has a new programme, called Low Carbon Buildings, in the pipeline, but there’s likely to be a gap between the old scheme being phased out and this one coming online.

I'm slightly better off

Boing Boing tells me that I can now reveal to the world the gross amount of money I’ve earned from GoogleAds, if not the details of how I got the required clicks. So, drumroll please, Spinneyhead today cleared 100 dollars. Admittedly, that is since last August, but I think the next century should come around sooner.

Green Drinks

A meet and greet social event for eco types. Greendrinks meetings are similar to Critical Mass rides, they just sort of happen because a bunch of like-minded people decide they should. There isn’t a Manchester one set up, someone should sort that out (don’t look at me, I’m crap at that sort of thing. I signed up to loads of MeetUp events and haven’t been to one yet, I’m not the organising sort.)
