  4. Probem with the current "measures" is they aren't progressive or logical and skewed by coporate interests so the burden is on the less wealthy. Vechicle fuel tax is a flat tax, but non on aviation fuel etc. RHI cash for ash fiasco etc Insulation upgrade schemes dropped due to mismagement. Standards for new homes not raised due to placing undue burden "red tape" on housing companies that make record profits... Billion pound subsidies for fossil fuel companies above and beyond the ones for any "green agenda" . HS2 vanity project instead of investment electrifying branch rail lines or better local pulbic transport. Poor air quality is a big killer though so can understand the low emission zone, but needs viable alternatives subsidized or invested in at same time...
  5. Some nice whaterboutry & aren't green energy sources often as cheap or cheaper than fossil now? On shore wind etc Do agree that alot of green is just green-wash and marketing bullshit though, to maintain the illusion that modern commerism etc can still be green.

  12. From Wiki: Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia states: Paulownia wood is very light, fine-grained, and warp-resistant. It is the fastest-growing hardwood. It is used for chests, boxes, and clogs (geta). The wood is burned to make charcoal for sketching and powder for fireworks, the bark is made into a dye. The silvery-grey wood is sliced into veneers for special visiting cards.[19][20] It is important in China, Korea, and Japan for making the soundboards of stringed musical instruments such as the guqin, guzheng, pipa, koto, and gayageum.[5] More recently it is used as body material for low-cost electric guitars,[21] as the core for lightweight touring skis,[22][23] and for surfboard cores.[24] It is used in guitars as the core body, then laminated under a more durable wood. Or firewood?
