Comments on: Missouri S&T achieves silver STARS designation for sustainability https://news.mst.edu/2012/09/missouri_st_achieves_silver_st/ Your source for the latest from Rolla Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:03:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.7 By: Julian Cassell https://news.mst.edu/2012/09/missouri_st_achieves_silver_st/#comment-709 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 08:43:49 +0000 https://news.wpblog.mst.edu/2012/09/missouri_st_achieves_silver_st/#comment-709 It’s initiatives like these which give us all hope.
I’ve just been doing my occasional scan of news stories, across the internet, relating to renewable energy developments, and was staggered to read a number of articles relating to the curtailing of government investment in wind power.
On further investigation I then found studies that were worried about wind turbines causing global warming because of the hot air they produce. I considered replying to these studies, and suggesting that the scientists involved were perhaps supplying more hot air than the turbines, but I’m not convinced they would have understood my comment.
My next stop was here, and having read what your students can do, will do, and quite clearly achieve, it has given me a greater feeling of hope than I had half an hour ago. I only wish that the politicians and policy makers read more blog posts like yours, and then maybe they’d realise that it really is time for a bit of change in thinking.
Thanks, and good luck with the projects,
Regards,
Julian
