One feature of the next Issue of the CamACAG Climate Change Action Review will be re-writes and updates on several of the position statements. All feedback and suggestions for improvements or additions to the list of CamACAG Position Statements are greatly appreciated. (cambridge.slater[a]yahoo.co.uk spam prevention replace[a] with @)

One very useful query recently received relates to statement No. 7 (Issue # 3) concerning the potential utility of onshore wind powered electricity generation. Apologies for an editorial error that led to the entirely erroneous statement that onshore wind could only hope to save the CO2 output of ‘one large power station’ even if 10% of the land surface of the UK were to be used.

What should have been said was that the actual contribution of currently deployed wind generators is very approximately that of one large power station, but that we would have to cover 10% of the UK’s surface if we want to use wind power to replace and phase out fossil fuel and nuclear electricity generation entirely. (That statement itself may or may not be adequately accurate, but with a policy of continuous improvement and sufficient feedback we should be able to get a short, definitive, easily comprehensible and useful position statement written within the next few issues.)
