This is the year for green energy. All the main players have put there money where their mouths have been for years. We will see more and more serious, competitive, ambitious lifestyle products focused on green values. Electric cars have been a persisting favourite of this column, and finally our television screens are selling us real, cool, cheaper electric cars we can be smug to be seen in.

Euronews reports that despite a difficult economic environment: “this years Pollutec exhibition in Paris attracted around 1500 exhibitors from 36 different countries. Electric vehicles were a main feature, aimed at improving urban mobility in cities.”

I said it last year, and you’ll see it this year – Britain’s cities are shaping up for a radical new form of electric living. More of that electricity is going to come from wind turbines, which haven’t stopped evolving – how complex can they be, really? The Economist reports on turbines that can now “see” the wind before it arrives, and take appropriate action. I’m blown away!
