Renewable Energy Mix
BP put this advert in the Guardian today, which solved one of the problems that I’ve seen for quite a while: how to communicate the idea that all wind power, or all solar power won’t help us move to renewables. Instead it has to be a mix, as the ad shows, although the inclusion of oil and natural gas at the top of the list betrays BP’s eco-credentials here, not to mention the whole sticky question of biofuels. If only an organisation that is sincere about a truly renewable energy mix could do something like this advert, there might be some hope of ending the silly attack on renewables that comes in the form of articles such as this from the Telegraph, where the author assumes that it’s a question of one or the other with renewables.
