- Have you seen the Golden Radiator award winners for 2016? Every year the Norwegian agency SAIH looks at the best and worst of charity promo videos. If you ever watch (and especially if you make) such things, it’s worth taking a look.
- The energy used to make a solar panel is now repaid in 1.2 years, according to new research – though Chris Goodall has some interesting observations on how that same study was spun as a bad news story by anti-renewable energy media outlets.
- Might Glasgow be the first city in Britain to pilot the citizen’s income? Interesting to see how this is being advanced at the council level.
- Yes it’s a PR gimmick, but I did quite like the ‘blades of fortune’ wind power quiz that I was sent this week, even though I fared rather badly at it.

Hi Jeremy, a slight error in your point about solar panels – the energy pay back time is now said to be just over a year, not under.
Ah yes, 1.2 years as it happens. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ve corrected it above.
