This approach to farming could buy us valuable decades on the road to sustainability and I'm at a loss to understand why the Green Party and the Labour Party aren't talking conservation farming, we should be building it into a world movement.<br />https://conservationagriculture.org/history-of-the-conservation-farming-unit-zambiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725813395993573441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440117683736860632.post-11782043111095148252018-04-02T08:48:14.007-07:002018-04-02T08:48:14.007-07:00Apparently Onkalo will be ready to take waste in 2...Apparently Onkalo will be ready to take waste in 2020, and then will be finally sealed in 2120, after which it will not be opened for 100,000 yearsPedro Osoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992924802032048265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440117683736860632.post-61456415211137567992018-03-31T01:40:47.620-07:002018-03-31T01:40:47.620-07:00Yes, we're running out of storage space, it...Yes, we're running out of storage space, it's such a no-brainer. But lack of secure nuclear waste storage didn't stop the industry from forging ahead regardless. Anyone here know what's happening at Onkalo - it's supposed to be operational this year? The brilliant 2010 film 'Into Eternity' sent a permanent chill down my spine.Flipside Visionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203813523197155107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440117683736860632.post-49659364262170838532018-03-30T23:31:54.466-07:002018-03-30T23:31:54.466-07:00An attempt has been made to put a price on the cos...An attempt has been made to put a price on the cost of BECCS with figures of up to $535 Trillion being suggested. Presumably the UK share of that would be around $10.7 Trillion or £7.6 Trillion. That is nearly 4 times the size of the UKs total national debt. https://www.greenbiz.com/article/climate-change-running-535-trillion-dollar-debtJon Fullerhttp://jonfuller.org.uknoreply@blogger.com
