Default Solar Power

Now this is the kind of thing I like! Increasing the effects of solar power. If this works whole buildings could be solar panels. Amazing stuff!

Utilising an existing space like that sounds like an excellent idea. Much better than those ugly wind turbines.

Excellent idea!

Usual thing is the cost/benefit ratio.

I would hate to see the country swamped with wind turbines.

I am worried as to how we are supposed to comply with 'our' desire to sign up for a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050, as Gormless Brown voted for at the latest BeanFest.
