    Let’s get one thing straight

    With reference to “Movers and makers” (5 September, page 74): the article announced that PVCu window maker Duraflex had received approval from Birmingham council for its A-class system for doors and windows.

    Put out that fear

    2008-09-19T00:00:00Z

    A calculated gamble

    2008-09-19T00:00:00Z

    I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but if the Homes and Communities Agency misses its 2016 target by say 500,000 homes, then we have got to build 375,000 homes a year from 2016, which would be an increase of 50% on 2007.

    The House of Commons thinks that Construction Matters. Of course it does, and of the 55 conclusions and recommendations in its report, the crucial item is number 20.

    No need for back-up

    2008-09-05T00:00:00Z

    I am surprised to see Paul Moore trying to revive the idea that every wind turbine needs a fossil fuel back-up to be kept running at full capacity (29 August, page 28) when research into intermittent generation by the UK Energy Research Council is easily accessible.
