I was interviewed this week for a BBC Radio 4 programme on sodcasting (the programme will be broadcast in the UK on Tuesday June 14 at 1330) and it’s made me think more deeply about the issue.

Whilst renewables are clearly essential in so many ways, it’s vital that we understand all their effects, positive and negative. Giant wind turbines have three downsides, of which potentially the most serious is noise. 

Last year I had the great pleasure of speaking at Thinking Digital, Herb Kim’s brilliant tech visionary conference in Newcastle (or to be more precise Gateshead). It was a fantastic experience and I realise that I have never posted a link to the video. I hope that the embed code inside this post will give access here. Just in case that doesn’t work, you can see the talk on the Thinking Digital website here.
