  • It’s been estimated that the

    average person’s lifestyle consumed a power of 20 kWh per day
  • I am partly driven to this conclusion by

    the chorus of opposition that greets any major renewable energy proposal.

    People love renewable energy, unless it is bigger than a figleaf.

      This is key: how to balance local and national interest. Which one trumps and after what process? The populist urge is to give in to local objections. It's also partly about just getting used to things.

      Exactly ! Something like a real 70s energy crisis would quickly change opinions though. At the moment it is far too easy to agree in principle with renewables, yet oppose them everywhere.
