This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Hi Prof,
Interesting concept, and it works! I would be cautious about some of Guy Negre's remarks, though. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell is proven and it is currently being further proven all over the world, I think. Have you been on a Hydrogen Fuel Cell bus yet? I think there are one or two in London already - I can't wait. Regarding cost, so is every technology expensive during development - prices will fall dramatically once in production.
As for Negre's claim that fibreglass is 10 times stronger than steel, I think that needs some qualification.
In my view the answers to our transport problems will be many and varied according to need and purpose - compressed air looks like being one of those answers. Thanks for the great blog, btw.
Thanks for the extra information. There always seems to be an element of 'hard sell' about any of these potential alternatives.
I feel alternatives to the internal combustion engine aren't 'hard sold' enough! Roll on great changes like these.
Great post, great blog.
I mean, as long as they are valid claims etc...
Exactly!
