Weather

The days are lengthening and the weather continues mild. Today has seen high winds and torrential rain butit is still not cold. I have just been reading about Charles Babbage the computer pioneer who died in 1871. He advocated the decimalisation of currency and predicted the exhaustion of coal. He said if posterity failed to find a substitute for coal it deserved to be frostbitten! What would he make of our present search for renewable energy sources?
