Twice in a day - is too much!

Two people today commented I haven't posted for a long time. One of my reasons is I have been too angry - blogs discuss ideas but what I want to see is some action!

Here is a great example:

Wakefield Council is going to sign the Nottingham Declaration By signing, they pledge to actively tackle climate change in your area and work with others to reduce emissions country-wide.



At the same time we proposed a Hydro Power project 12 months ago at the council's flagship project "Wakefield Waterfront".

Was it technically too difficult?
No - we had engineers say it was possible.

Was it too expensive?
No - It would actually make money over its life time.

Did we have the time to put a plan together?
Yes - the engineers said we could do it - just political delays and people not making decisions. In fact we have been planning the Waterfront for over 15 years!

This is one of the biggest wears in Yorkshire - lets celebrate it, make a fantastic looking hydro project at the heart of our city that could generate electricity for 400 houses. It would be a wonderful opportunity to kick start our commitment to the Nottingham Declaration and send a message out that people in Wakefield care about our planet.

The probelm is we don't have the political will in Wakefield - I'm not just blaming Chief Executives or local politicians.

Who in Wakefield is standing up and campaigning for sustainable energy? We all sit by why new developments are built but we don't ask how sustainable the behavior is.

It is about time people banded together and did something in Wakefield.

If your interested then get in contact with me.

Anybody up for it?
