Bill McKibben - Why is 350 the most important number in the world?
Well, this year was no exception – there were talks about how this recession was coming to an end, and how to promote a more stable world economic system. Returning to a global gold standard instead of credit based (fiat) currency wasn't discussed. (This would have something to do with the problem.) Instead, the G8 decided to talk up doling out financial aid through the U.S. Treasury and personal loans out of the International Monetary Fund – and treating symptoms instead of the disease. The G8 had another summit this summer, and just like usual, they haven't accomplished much. The G8, or the 8 wealthiest nations of the world, have a summit every year to talk about how great they are.

Thanks for the kind words Paul. It was very much a team effort.
Cool. So when can we have nuclear energy in Ireland, as Jim Lovelock suggests?
This is worth reading - http://www.ecolo.org/lovelock/lovelock-online_chat-00.htm
(Note that Lovelock suggests small scale nuclear development, and not the supernukes we've seen blighting the UK in the past).
Excellent work Dave (again)....Keep it up man....'Age of stupid' is an understatement...

E.ON shelves plan to build Kingsnorth power plant as activists plan to take control of second power station
Wednesday, 7 October 2009: Climate activists celebrated victory against carbon intensive coal power last night, as energy company E.ON announced they were indefinitely delaying building a new power station in Kent. The Camp for Climate Action targeted the Kingsnorth site in August 2008 1 as coal is one of the most environmentally destructive ways of generating electricity.2
E.ON’s anouncement comes as hundreds of activists prepare for the Great Climate Swoop on 17th October, when they plan to take control of Ratcliffe-on-Soar3, another coal-fired power plant operated by E.ON 4. Activists will be co-ordinating the protests through text messages and twitter, which were also used to plan the G20 protests.
Activist Dennis Stevens said: “This is an amazing victory which shows how ordinary people can take back the power from corporations and government which do not value people and the environment. We need a social movement to develop community control of our energy supply and our society; not our current system which ignores the needs of people and the climate.”..

Firstly thanks Dave for putting this documentary together. When in Shannonbridge, we discussed showing the premiere of the doc when it got made in lukers bar, have ye any plans of a screening down there???
By the way, the next big town, ballinasloe has its own money in circulation, which is one of the themes of transition; local economy resiliance, theirs is LETS (Local Exchange Trading System- http://www.ballinasloecreditunion.ie/LETS.html ), that might be something to talk about, along with all the rest.
