I'm just going to run with it:
The much feted zero-carbon Living Ark classroom was opened three months ago to great fanfare.
It boasts laudable green credentials and is made from sustainable wood, sheep’s wool and soil. The roof is made of mud and grass and it has its own ‘rain pod’ and solar panels.
But there is snag - its solar panels only provide enough energy to power a few lightbulbs.
As a result the classroom is bitterly cold and uninhabitable for lessons.
Some of the quotes at the link are pretty funny.
I'm not against so-called green projects in theory, but they have to actually work. And not at twice the price or with massive government subsidies forever.
It has to work. How do people forget that?
