A blog about lovely Waterlooville, a small, environmentally damaged town in Hampshire, UK. Waterlooville was founded after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, as troops from that conflict returned home and passed through Hampshire. Having grown from a small village to a suburban sprawl, Waterlooville faces serious environmental challenges today and in the future.

Couldn't resist posting this amusing video
Dr Richard Milne de-constructs climate change skeptic arguments in a lecture/talk. It takes a while to get going but is worth watching from end to end:

Isentropic settled in over at Fareham
Looks like the innovative energy storage start up Isentropic have settled in over at Fareham.
They are now after a Chief designer, Electrical power engineer and a Design/CAD engineer:

The web site has also been re-designed.
The company have a new system for storing energy that uses steel, Argon gas and gravel, with a high round-trip efficiency. In my opinion, probably one of the most promising energy developments for a long time.

Public transport travel planning
Just noticed that Google Maps now has the option of working out routes via public transport. Previously only driving and walking were available. Haven't tried it yet, so don't know how good or bad it is.
But still no cycling option??
