I just realised that all my electricity is now zero carbon, so i can use as much of it as i like!
right?
In fact, i reckon, if i reduce the amount of electricity i use, i will end up giving less money to the nice people at Good Energy and so they will have less cash to invest in renewable resources - thus making the world a worse place...

I've always thought that planned growth (particularly population growth) makes even the most sensible of plans for "sustainability" a non-starter, but wasn't ever sure why exactly...

I find i am using some of the wiki pages as a kind of blog, but without all the nice bloggy features like searching by date and archiving and so on.
So, here's my little blog, which is mainly going to be notes about stuff i've done to this (Au) site.
Let's see how long this lasts...
