14. ‘The best scientific
projections indicate
that we have very
little time left -
indeed, less than one
hundred months - in
which to alter our
behaviour drastically.
Although I wish it
were otherwise, I fear
we have reached the
point when if we do
too little, too late to
tackle this problem,
the consequences
could be
catastrophic.’
15. "Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."
Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell
28th January 2008
24. What does this mean for Shropshire in 2020?
Meeting carbon budgets in 2020 will require a reduction in average
per person emissions from the current level of 9 tCO2 to 6 tCO2.
In a County where carbon budgets are achieved, the typical person will:
• Meet more of their energy needs from low-carbon power.
• Live in well-insulated homes with new efficient boilers and advanced
heating controls.
• Purchase energy-efficient appliances and use these on low-carbon cycles
(e.g. low temperature washing and dishwashing).
• Work in energy-efficient offices with power and heating from low carbon
sources.
• Drive more carbon-efficient cars, including hybrids, electric cars or plug-in
hybrids with charging infrastructure at home, at work and in public places.
• Drive in an eco-friendly manner (e.g. not carrying excess weight in the car)
and within the existing speed limit.
• Plan journeys better and use public transport more.
Together these changes would be sufficient to achieve carbon budgets.
They could significantly improve energy security of supply and air quality,
and therefore maintain or improve quality of life.

27. ‘We have a vision of a different Britain. It is a
vision of a Britain in which our cars run on
electricity; high speed trains whisk us from
North to South in less time than it takes to get
across greater London; we produce much more
but use much less energy to do it; our power
suppliers no longer depend to any great extent
on imported oil and gas; our homes require
less energy, produce far more of their own
energy and are heated by gas we produce from
our own agricultural and domestic waste. It is a
vision of a Britain which leads the world in new
green technologies. Secured against
interruptions of supply and volatile prices, our
industry can plan for growth. Our national
security is guaranteed, regardless of decisions
by volatile governments elsewhere to close
pipelines or restrict supply. It is a decentralised
vision rather than one in which all decisions
about our energy future are vested in the
government. Through it we play our full part in
protecting our planet against the effects of
man-made climate change.’

or what we
know, or what
we believe is, in
the end, of little
consequence.
The only
consequence is
what we do.”
John Ruskin
74. "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance
to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and
creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance
of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that
the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help
one that would never otherwise have occurred. A
whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen
incidents and meetings and material assistance, which
no man could have dreamed would have come his
way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do,
begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now." W.H. Murray
