If you ever needed evidence of the tidal change sweeping through our world at the commanding heights of energy it is this snippet from the UN: “Clean energy has just overtaken fossil fuel investment”.

Green energy overtook fossil fuels in attracting investment for power generation for the first time last year, according to figures released by the United Nations.  Wind, solar and other clean technologies attracted $140bn compared with $110bn for gas and coal for electrical power generation. The Guardian, where I got this from, noted that more than a third of the green cash is destined for Britain or the rest of Europe.

Shine on indeed, me hearties!
