    Outstanding TED Talk on Electric Cars

    Time will tell. The tidal generator at the entrance to Strangford lough is a success and was to be adopted on a larger scale in the Bristol channel but became a casualty of the Con-dem government cuts. Funny how investment gets cut when renewables are showing actual economic potential...

    The Cyclists (Protective Headgear) Bill In NI

    Northern Ireland Helmet Law DON'T CONFUSE ME WITH FACTS
