Hello! My name is John Findlay and this is my first blog on Climate Change and Renewables. I'm a Director of a renewable energy consultancy and a renewables installation company. Just a few words about me; in many ways I'm a typical family man living in a typical house in England's smallest county of Rutland. I'm very aware of man's impact on the environment but like most of us still drive too much, consume too much and drink too much - but at least I recycle the bottles!
My background includes 8 years in worldwide oil exploration followed by 20 years in various aspects of hydrogeology and water resource management. Over the last 8 years the focus of my work has shifted to include renewable energy issues with a focus on ground source heating & cooling (GSHC). I've been involved in many of the UK's larger GSHC projects and so I like to think I know a good deal about the pros and cons of ground source design and other renewable technologies. I have many thoughts and theories on the wider issues of climate change, peak oil, UK energy policy, renewables uptake, feed-in-tariffs, nuclear power and many things besides! Over the coming weeks I hope to cover a few (or all) of these subjects and hopefully spark some debate. This is such a rapidly evolving and exciting sector. Who could have foreseen the situation we now find ourselves in just ten years ago? Hardly anyone had heard of climate change at the turn of the millenium - now its rarely out of the news! I really hope many of you out there will join in with your own thoughts and comments - the more the merrier! Back in touch soon, John
