We have an addiction to fossil fuels, and it is not sustainable. How can we replace fossil fuels? How can we ensure security of energy supply? How can we solve climate change? Following the great success of his recent book “Sustainable Energy – without the hot air” Professor David Mackay will explore pathways which we can transition to low carbon energy by 2050
18.00-19.30, Cambridge University Engineering Dept. More info: http://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/22126

The Energy Group would like contact people who have experience with PV in order to compile some case studies and advice for others who are considering having it installed. We are interested both in people who have had it done recently and therefore have up-to-date experience with suppliers, and in those who have had it done a few years ago so that they can tell us what yields they have achieved and if there were any maintenance problems. If you can help, please contact the energy group
Hope to see you soon!
Cheers
Rob
