So back on topic.... 

I wonder what the CO2 emissions of Glastonbury are?    

I bet it's colossal when you consider all the generators, beer and falafel farts and hot air spouted by the commentators.....   

Right on Maan!! 

Strangely enough, there isn't much info available relating to this.  I would estimate through, that electricity consumption alone, it must be in the hundreds of MWs

Mike,
On the subject of energy and, specifically fracking, I found this interesting:

Fracking with Marmite.

Thank you, and, thats the very reason that this forum was created ( now that is going back a bit )

Ah, yes Mike, the old times when we could happily discuss anything. These days we're not allowed to air any opinions on our government or society for fear of upsetting the non-political.

On topic, though, that wretched Greenpeace banner across the front of the stage makes me want to switch off straightaway. You're quite right to point out the hypocrisy, though. The message they give out is that it's OK to waste energy as long as it's "renewable".

Cobblers.

Really? If only.

Were you a member in a different name back in 2006?

Before your time, Mr Gixer. I was here just after the forum opened.

FYI, for those that have been away, hadn't noticed, or are trying to drag the place down.... For a few months after Xmas, this section was the most utterly miserable place imaginable, full of whinge and moan threads like this. The lack of humour, on subjects such as this, and hence infecting others had completely vanished.

If admin input is to be believed, and I do believe it rightly or wrongly, then the place was not far of closure completely as a result.


...anyway, lets hope we can get back to the humour and light hearted ways of old, as you so rightly elude to .
(The topic as such wont matter a toss then I guess?)

Apologies, went off on one there.

I'll shut up now.

[miked]

In your opinion.

Your view is that this should only be for laughs and that serious subjects should not be discussed.

I don't share that view. It should be a reasonable mixture of the light-hearted and serious.

Calling this thread full of "whinge and moan" is insulting to Miked who, before your time, organised a trip round a power station for OOf members.

If you don't like a thread, don't read it.
