The Secret Garden Party
| July 24, 2008 | to | July 27, 2008 |
As soon as we leart that the theme for this years Secret Garden Party was “come the revolutions”, we put the dates in the diary and started bombarding the organisers with revolutionary bicycle power ideas for their festival.
The Secret Garden party, say its organisers, is…YOUR PARTY.
Magnificent revlution are providing a space where The Wild Things never sleep, play with toys, join in group games, watch films and paint themselves and each other. Don’t go to sleep……. stay up and lets bike power the night away.
Truck Festival
| July 19, 2008 | to | July 20, 2008 |
We’ll be doing a bike powered dj and late night film tent at this years truck festival near oxford. Beautiful indie music fesival and some wicked old school djs too…… we’re going to have fun and love it!
“Energy Revolution”
“A new global energy revolution which would completely transform the way we produce and use energy”. Yes, Yes, Mr. Tanakan we’re on it!
The Executive Director from the International Energy Agency (IEA) wasn’t talking about bike power on the 6th of June, but how we use a wide range of other revolutionary technologies to meet the most ambitious IPCC scenario aimed at keeping temperature increases below 2.4°C.
To achieve only a 2.4°C increase, a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions from todays levels will be required by 2050. The lowest cost route, known as the (Energy technology Perspective) ETP BLUE route, explores the technologies and the investment required to achieve this goal. It focuses on four main areas; energy reduction, CO2 capture and storage, renewables and nuclear energy.
MR thanks Mr. Tanakan for highlighting to a large number of powerful people just how much trouble we’re in and for giving them some recommendations for scraping through on the cheap.
MR are looking forward to hearing about the ETP GREEN route which hopefully will be following shortly, be ultra revolutionary, and will at least make passing comment to bike power!
