      • In praise of German local government ingenuity – the pothole tax
        I love it. Unseasonally cold weather in North Western Europe has created a load of potholes across the streets of the old continent but a town in the Ex-Communist East Germany, Niderzimmern, has hit upon a way of makling money from this driver’s blight. Niederzimmern, not far from Weimar,  and an area I know quite well (and [...] […]
      • Micro-hydro – huge potential for the UK?
        I keep thinking about this trip I went on last weekend – a tour of micro-hydro plants organised by the South Somerset Hydropower Group.

That’s all fine, but why not look across the Irish Sea [...] […]
      • The Alternative Manifesto – By Dr Eamonn Butler
        The other day, we had our inaugural private EPC dinner with politicians, thought-leaders and leading members of the business community – it was terrific. And we had a real treat, because Dr Eamonn Butler of the Adam Smith Institute agreed to step in at the last moment to speak about his new book; The Alternative Manifesto [...] […]
