Why everyone is talking about energy storage…
Unless you have been stuck under a rock all year, you will probably have noticed that a lot of people are now talking about energy storage and home batteries in a big way.
The idea of a home or business becoming energy-self sufficient and running off the renewable power it generates from solar or wind turbines has always been the end-game for many people working in the industry, but recent developments and falling prices mean that idea is now within our grasp.
Walking and cycling could prevent thousands of premature deaths
More than 13,000 premature deaths from air pollution could be prevented over the next decade if councils could get more people to walk and cycle, according to a new report.
The report out today, by the national charity Sustrans and the environmental consultancy Eunomia, claims that if targets to double journeys by bike and increase walking by 300 trips per person in the England’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy were met, more than 8,300 premature deaths from air pollution would be prevented.
