With rising demand for energy, especially electricity, the world is in need of new resources. Fossil fuels produce harmful carbon emissions and green technology may never be able to provide a reliable source of Renewable Energy. Despite ongoing concerns about the safety of nuclear power, it’s likely going to play an increasingly large role in satisfying our needs. Several projects being developed in Russia will hopefully help make nuclear’s enlarged role as safe as possible. Fast neutron reactors look to be the future of the industry, while an advanced gas-cooled reactor design could have benefits beyond electricity generation. And Russia’s plans for a fleet of floating Nuclear power stations will bring electricity, heat and fresh water to isolated populations.

Wind of Change is a short documentary that shows how Fintry in rural Stirlingshire, Scotland, has embraced renewable Energy for a more sustainable future for their village.
In the age of peak oil, fuel poverty has become a serious issue throughout Scotland, where 30% of the population is not on mains gas and rely on expensive and carbon intensive heating systems. The village of Fintry is fighting back. After long negotiations, they became the first village in the UK to enter a joint-venture agreement with a wind farm developer that secured a wind turbine for the community. From the income stream the turbine generates, Fintry has given free insulation to more than half of all households in the village and is now embarking on new ambitious projects to eventually make the village carbon-neutral. The film portrays the village of Fintry as it carries out a number of new projects such as installation of micro-Renewable heating systems, planting a community orchard and opening a woodland learning area for the local primary school.
