Good onya, mate.

Interesting detail I've noticed; you're the only one of the three actually doing something (building things, as opposed to campaigning, protesting and lobbying).

Any fool can walk in protest marches. It takes a brain and some craftsmanship to design, build and operate a windturbine. Kudos.

Peter.

Excellent work Fungus.

Articles like that are well worth keeping for future employers to read in your quest to becoming an eco-engineer.

I particularly like;

Keep up the great work

Angus;

XLNT stuff. And to think I knew you before you were rich and famous. Good to see young folks who care and "do".

I agree with Dinges [I hate to but I do] taking a proactive course of action is great and probably very rewarding, too.

Cheers.

I knew him since he was just a kid!

Great job fungus!
With luck, your picture will be in recycling bins all around the UK.  And I mean that in the best possible way.  ;-)

As everyone else has said, congratulations.  Your generation is likely to face increasing problems with energy and the fallout of the descisions made by those who came before you.  Crying about it won't fix it.  Doing something about it may.  I am proud of you, and was way before the press took notice, keep up the good work.  Rich
