Where will you be in 2020? Greenbang hopes she’ll be hanging out with Buck Rogers and drinking cocktails in space, possibly with some sort of cyborg capacities. Maybe expandable legs, like Inspector Gadget. Scottish and Southern Energy though has a far more pragmatic goal in mind for the coming

If you listen to the Guardian, microgeneration (solar panels on people’s roofs and similar wee energy projects) could soon beat nuclear energy in a fight. It reminds Greenbang of the infamous 40 midgets versus a tiger wrestling match, although the outcome for the micro element there wasn’t so

Renewable energy company Novera Energy has polished off its big book of clichés and give its potential suitors the flick this week.

Can you really have too much of a good thing? In the name of science, Greenbang decided to find out. After watching three series of The A Team without a break, she can confirm yes, it is technically possible. The German goverment would doubtless agree. After subsidies helped Germany’s

Interesting news from British Columbia: you go months without any and then two interesting pieces turn up at once. Much like buses, burglaries or Guns ‘N Roses albums in the early nineties. The first, if Greenbang maybe permitted a smattering of tabloidese for a moment, is that an art heist

Fancy working for Google? It wouldn’t be a bad gig – the canteen’s legendary and you’d get all the free internet searches you want, although Greenbang would suggest holding out for some of those stock options and your own personal masseuse if she were you. The search juggernaut,

Utrecht may have the unfortunate curse of a name which sounds roughly the same as someone yakking up a stubborn ball of phlegm, but it’s also home to sustainable energy bunch Econcern, which has just put out its latest lot of results bandying around figures big enough to make

Greenbang bonus river fact: According to the font of all knowledge that is Wikipedia, the Severn is the most dangerous river in Britain. Greenbang presumes it used to be a bit tasty with its fists and was once an associate of the Krays. That would make it pretty dangerous in

The last time that Greenbang wrote a letter to an authority figure, she was eight, and the figure was Jim of Jim’ll Fix It. She never got a response and to this day, she’s never had lunch with a unicorn and the members of Bros. Still, she hopes
