Galvanising the planet

As climate change has led to an alarming 1.6 °F (0.9°C) increase in the globe's average surface temperature since 1906, there is an urgent need for clean and green ways to produce power. Glaciers and ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising, and in response countries from China to Norway to the UAE have been planning huge and innovative projects and programmes to generate electricity in a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly way. From solar parks as big as Caribbean islands to fleets of electric buses, drones and cars, these are some of the ventures galvanising the planet.

    peterm4242 Scotland obliges developers to have two energy efficiency / revnewable items, To this end all do better with insulation and then have either solar cellls on the roof or an air source heat pump. Ok so you may be limited by the current feed in tariff limit in some areas (the local grid sometimes struggles to take power back in on sunny days(!) Wale is heading this way, so as usual it is England lagging behind the devolved countries. Now this is not always good as the current SNP government seem to be signed up to net zero carbon by 2035 (5 years ahead of England) which is driving some weird local decisions....

    So why are solar panels not MANDATORY on all new buildings in the UK? Anything to do with vested interests by any chance?
