DO YOU HAVE THE ATTITUDE CORRELATED WITH YOUR WRITINGS ??

Well for nearly 3 years I've been working on a voluntary basis writing articles for The Oil drum, working from home.

I drive a 15 year old Volvo, which is kept in good efficient order (replacing it would use much energy), and drive about 5000 miles / year.

I do not object to paying high European gasoline taxes and would not object to paying more tax on air travel, though I don't fly that much these days.

My home is well insulated and likely well above average in terms of energy efficiency.

I do recognise, however, that achieving energy efficiency costs much money, and is beyond the pocket of many folks, and would like to see our UK government provide greater subsidies for introducing energy efficiency measures to the home.

Euan,

Relax, he's probably from France. You know how they are ...
