I want to try to inject a bit of factual info on the issues I know about- energy and climate policy - drawing out the wider political points that we have a government wedded to market competition and that is stalling efforts to steer us towards dealing with climate change. Information is power so I will persist. Surviving climate change is a prerequisite for any society and the issues that are involved link to the wider agenda of how we develop industrially, economically and socially.
About Me
- Dave Elliott
- I produce a series of Blogs on renewable energy: * A bimonthly newsletter Renew On Line: http://renew-on-line.blogspot.co.uk/ alternating with a shorter RenewExtra Blog: http://renewextra.blogspot.co.uk/ * A monthly policy blog: http://delliott6.blogspot.co.uk/ * A weekly IoP 'Renew Your Energy' blog: http://blog.environmentalresearchweb.org/author/dxe/ I am Emeritus Professor of Technology Policy at the Open University. I worked initially with the UK Atomic Energy Authority at Harwell and the Central Electricity Generating Board, before moving to the OU, where I developed courses and research programmes focusing on renewable energy technology. I have published widely- including 14 books more than 40 reports and over 50 academic journal papers. My latest e- book for the IoP is 'Renewable: a review of sustainable energy supply options': http://iopscience.iop.org/book/978-0-750-31040-6/ This draws on, and is updated by, Renew, which I have been producing, in various formats, since 1979, most recently as a Blog; see above

What I thought I would do when invited to submit regular items was to try to inject a bit of factual info on the issues I know about- energy and climate policy - drawing out the wider political points. It's usually though the same political point- we have a government wedded to market competition as the arbiter of value and that is stalling efforts to steer us towards dealing with climate change. And we don't have the power to resist or change this situation. Information is power of sorts though, so I will persist.
