redgreenandblue.org — 2008 was a year for the armchair political pundit and the politically uninitiated alike. But it was also a year where unprecedented (political) attention was paid to the big energy and environmental issues.

Quite a year - let's hope 2009 is just as exciting (in a good way for a change)

Wind power. The slow boat to nowhere.Why would Alaskans want wind when they get a $1200 oil royalty check per year from the government. Good job Sarah Palin!

"Centralised energy systems aren't 75% efficient - but you don't get to see it becase so much is lost before it even gets to your house."Not exactly. Centralized energy systems depend on fuels that are the result of thousands of years of concentrated sunlight and geothermal. It's not that they're more efficient; they're just cheaper per watt than you can presently pull from solar over the lifespan of a cell - and that's a tragedy that must be repaired with new tech in solar.
