Green Focus: Can economic growth benefit the environment? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some environmentalists maintain that economic growth is bad for the environment and should be stopped, writes Henry Haslam. Most commentators and politicians, however, take it for granted that growth is a good thing. They tell us that we want more of it, and that all we need is the right government policies and growth will happen. Economic growth means growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is not a good measure of the success of the economy. It includes acts of destruction, such as wa
Green Focus: How can we create a green economy? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does a green economy look like? writes Henry Haslam. How would it be different if we thought that looking after the environment was important? A great deal of economic activity consists of manufacturing, construction, travel and transport. These activities mostly have a harmful effect on the environment, but we are introducing new technologies and different ways of doing things that achieve the same objectives with less damage. When people write about green jobs, they are usually thinking o
Green Focus: These wasted energy sources could help reduce pylon reliance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In previous Green Focus columns I have written about the opportunities for generating electricity using geothermal energy, derived from hot rocks at depth, and water power, derived from rivers and streams, writes Henry Haslam. These operations could be small and medium sized, and they would be dispersed throughout the country. First, they would be closer to where the electricity is needed, reducing the need for costly and unsightly pylons from offshore wind farms and large nuclear power stations
Green Focus: Why isn't Taunton harnessing free energy flowing past every day? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I walk through the Somerset countryside with a friend or a grandson, whenever a river comes into view one of us will remark, ‘Look at all that energy going to waste!’ writes Henry Haslam. In 1300, there were more than 10,000 water mills in the south of England. At other sites, the water wheel has gone but the weir and millstream remain. For the most part, our rivers represent wasted energy. Various modern technologies are available that have been used in rivers large and small, in fast-flowin
Green Focus: Why do we pass the buck on taking environmental action? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In recent Green Focus columns, I have been questioning why it is that many people say that they attach importance to environmental concerns but do not show it in the way they live, writes Henry Haslam. In seeking to understand this lack of action, I suggested that people might be deterred because their individual contribution was insignificant – to which I reply that, in fact, people power is the only way that change can happen. Similarly, I suggested that people were inclined to pass the buck a
