Welcome to Green Cottage! | Green Cottage

https://ourgreencottage.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/welcome-to-green-cottage

Welcome to Green Cottage! February 17, 2010 at 3:23 pm ( General. Welcome to Green Cottage, my two-up, two-down end of terrace home in Bury, Lancashire, which I have eco-renovated to reduce my environmental impact and become more self-reliant. From solar power and wood fuel heating to growing my own food, I have crammed as much as I can into this typical Victorian terrace to show what can be done to prepare for climate change and peak oil. I hope that you enjoy your stay! Solar Bud’s Tweets. The Garden &...

UK Fossil Fuel Subsidies | Green Cottage

https://ourgreencottage.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/uk-fossil-fuel-subsidies

UK Fossil Fuel Subsidies. January 3, 2013 at 8:21 pm ( Climate Change. There has been much discussion in the press and blogosphere recently about an. On the ‘levels of subsidy’ enjoyed by fossil fuels worldwide, broken down by country. Energy companies are not necessarily oil companies, but for the sake of argument let’s say this leaves a net difference of around 2.2 billion in subsidy for fossil fuel industries. Free, and inexhaustible. Of course, climate science is in its relative infancy and it is not...

Insulation Upgrade – A Range of Ideas | Green Cottage

https://ourgreencottage.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/insulation-upgrade-a-range-of-ideas

Insulation Upgrade – A Range of Ideas. January 7, 2013 at 10:26 am (Uncategorized). I was recently working out the carbon footprint of Green Cottage, and came up with a very favourable figure of less than one tonne of CO2 a year – this being associated with the grid electricity I use. I’m with Good Energy who use 100% renewable energy, but for the purposes of counting I take the figure for normal grid electricity as that’s what comes to my meter. It cost about 12 for the roll of bubble wrap. These variou...

Megalomaniacs Anonymous: September 2005

http://solarbud.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html

The Pursuit of Power in all its Forms. Thursday, September 22, 2005. An old friend of mine, Nick, once said in a moment of clarity, "Let's start a religion. I'll be God! This week I noticed this article. Basically proposing the need for a new nature-based but technological religion, where nature is our sacred provider and technology is the key to accessing power from it. So it's not just me, then! Posted by Solar Bud at 10:04 am. Thursday, September 01, 2005. The End Is Nigh. This is why the "Wrath of Go...

A new NIMBYism | Green Cottage

https://ourgreencottage.wordpress.com/2014/03/14/a-new-nimbyism

March 14, 2014 at 10:10 am (Uncategorized). A new NIMBYism is stalking the land. It’s a powerful new NIMBYism, with the potential to unite anarchist and banker, tree hugger and professional footballer, civil disobedient and lawyer. And here’s the rub. We like our TVs and our gadgets, all essential for modern life, and really, what’s the point of going to work at all if we can’t fly off for one or two foreign holidays in the sun every year? People don’t like rising energy bills. Nor do they like...The day...

The Pursuit of Power in all its Forms. Friday, January 20, 2006. A big 'hello' to another SolarBud. In Canada, an awesome solar pyrography artist. I've added a link to his fascinating site of beautiful and striking artwork. Apologies for the lack of posting recently, but, well, no point in repeating myself, is there . . ? My first album will be commercially available soon, hopefully. Just with a distributor for approval. Fingers crossed! Posted by Solar Bud at 12:00 am. Bury, Lancashire, United Kingdom.

Megalomaniacs Anonymous: April 2006

http://solarbud.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

The Pursuit of Power in all its Forms. Sunday, April 16, 2006. A Thought For Easter. I found this excellent article. Over Easter, which pretty much echoes my own take on things:-. Since I became aware of Peak Oil and accepted it as reality, I see Gibson’s Satan everywhere. Today, most politicians tout their pro-growth economic policies. Can you imagine a politician running for office on a no-growth economic plan? Of course you can’t. Why? Keep God and religion out of our schools! It seems like the Bible ...
