However, I also like to buy local food - for all the other good reasons that it's good to buy local. So which should I buy?

I can't find any mention of it anywhere on your site and I wonder how much you or your readers know about the recent revolution in unconventional "shale" gas which has meant some geologists think that there is nine times more natural gas available on a planetary scale than thought as little as two or three years ago.

However, France only has wind power because it’s forced to by the European Union. David Walters]]> http://climateanswers.info/2009/07/question-are-the-french-really-that-keen-on-wind-power/feed/ 0
