In 2006 less than 3% of all electricity generated came from renewable technologies.
The U.K. Government target is to exceed 10% by the year 2010....

There are over 40,000 Solar heating systems estimated to be in use in the U.K.....

Those households that have solar, consider the systems are reliable and have high life expectancy of 20 years plus....

The majority of users of solar are very satisfied with the system performance....

On average solar heating systems can provide up to half of all domestic hot water.

The pitch (or tilt) of an average roof in the U.K. is near the optimum (or best) for receiving solar energy.

20 million homes in the U.K. could benefit from fitting solar heating systems...

That more solar systems are fitted in Germany per day than in the U.K. per year.

Solar systems can be designed to efficiently heat swimming pools or hot tubs....

World consumption of oil is 90,000,000 barrels per day

Oil prices have doubled since 2004.

In September 2000 the UK fuel protests provoked panic buying of petrol and within 10 short days essential services such as the N.H.S., and the supermarket foodchain were near collapse.

OPEC members are producing oil at near maximum capacity, busting their previously busted quotas.

From 2010-2030 to meet the proposed reductions in emissions from U.K. households the following measures will have to be implemented……..New build properties will have to have a near zero energy demand for space heating. …

Where possible domestic solar water heating is installed as standard in all new builds.

I predict that…… Sales of incandescent light bulbs will cease within a year,

Gas and electric bills will soon show amount of carbon emitted for property.

Inefficient old housing stock will have to be demolished at a rapid rate to be replaced with sustainable energy efficient homes.
