Why can`t we start with offering an option from electric companies to down phase electricity current supply, as an option originally from our current UK power of 240 to 120? And then eventually change it all over over a long period of time?
Electrical items surely are more efficient these days and so many of them come with power supplies anyway to reduce the power to the units.
I`m never sure about the global warming effect, I see evidence, but then I just see rubbish on TV and in the papers about and of course paranoia.
Either way, I do not believe that in this day and age that our electricity voltage needs to be as high as it is.
Certainly, we could run on a lower wattage per household. This is not a subject close to my heart, it just seems obvious to me.

Global Warming IS happening - but Global Cooling is BIGGER !
The Global Warming from CO2 is bad for the environment and is not good for the earth's resources.
However, to tax people is wrong.
In addition the Sun's activity has a bigger effect than all the CO2 being pumped out. Therefore the current Sun activity could be seen as a counter balance in nature to the current Global Warming.
Funny how GOD intervenes !

So now global warming is happening?
Make your mind up
BTW the thing you posted was wrong when you last posted it and it's still wrong.

I think that we have to look at Sunspot activity or lack of - and then compare the solar activity graph with global temperature - then we realise the climate is effected MOST by er....THE SUN ( the big yellow thing in the sky not the chip wrapper paper )
I think nuclear is not a great idea either in the long term. Especially for a small island like the UK which could become uninhabitable if something does go wrong.
We have the ocean surrounding us and many tidal estuaries and though the initial investment in tidal power would be large - it would provide us with non stop energy forever.
Add our rivers ( and we have great rain and fast flowing full rivers ) to water power and we already have the ability to gain loads of power.
I cant understand why we dont have every home built with Solar Power as part of its design and every old home converted. The Sun is not going away either.
We easily have the means to create our own energy.
We could even create road surfaces which could convert road tranport friction into energy if we wanted to......all energy is transferable.
YET because big business wants us to use and trade oil we are stuck with the dirty black stuff. Global warming is not caused by you and me. It is caused by Government Policy. They could end it tomorrow but the do not want to change.
