"Studies] yield maximum estimates in the range of 17–38 TW and are notably less than recent estimates that claim abundant wind power availability. Furthermore, we show with the climate model simulations that the climatic effects at maximum wind power extraction are similar in magnitude to those associated with a doubling of atmospheric CO2.

Support The Fortnum 145
11-04-2011 07:23
The Fortnum 145 are a group of people who were arrested and charged, following the occupation of Fortnum and Mason on 26 March this year.
So far, they’ve been part shocked, part amused, by the awful media coverage of the events of that day. Media spin about violence and attacks has been undermined by footage actually taken inside the store. The mass arrest happened amidst calls for the police to be given more rights spy on protesters. The police have even told parliament that this was an opportunity to gather intelligence about protestors. This is political policing, clear and simple.
The linked website exists to support the protesters who campaigned to highlight the tax dodge of over £40 million by Associated British Foods which is majority-owned by Fortnum & Mason’s owner Whittington Investments.
We’ll be featuring blogs from the protesters and other people, media from the day and the trials ahead and putting forward ideas about how you can help.
Right now, it’d be a big help for you to have a look at our action page and spread the message about our campaign.
We’re also keen to hear your messages of support and we have a form that helps you to get in touch to give us a morale-boost.

Grand National 'equivalent to Spanish bullfighting'
The Grand National continued its tradition of killing horses today when Ornais broke his neck and Dooneys Gate broke his back in the gruelling 4 and a half mile event. Their deaths mean that 20 horses have now perished on the Grand National course since 2000.
