After returning from watching the very good Quantum of Solace at the Penistone Paramount:
the following YouTube clip was in my Google Reader by means of the excellent osocio blog:
I believe it would make a great lesson starter!

The BBC docudrama ‘If The Oil Runs Out‘ is currently on available on YouTube, cut into 6 sections. I have added them all together to using playlist – see below. There is a good chance that it will not be on YouTube for ever!

“NowPublic is a participatory news network which mobilizes an army of reporters to cover the events that define our world.”
PlanMyGreen, a NowPublic ‘reporter’ requested the use of three images from geographyalltheway_photos to help illustrate an article he has writte called ‘U.S. Leads World in Wind Energy Production‘ – and I was happy to oblige.

I’m currently in the UK visiting my parents who live just outside Penistone. There is a small wind farm on the ridge that can be seen from my parent’s house – Royd Moor Wind Farm.
Wikipedia has the following to say about it:
“The Royd Moor Wind Farm is located at Penistone, South Yorkshire and consists of thirteen 500 kW turbines. The site is located approximately 6 km north west of Penistone, above the A628 trunk road between Sheffield and Manchester. The turbines are set in two parallel, staggered rows of six and seven, on a ridge in hilly fell land lying 320 m above sea level.
These turbines were completed in 1993 and are 35m in height to the hub and have a rotor diameter of 37m. The maximum output is 6.5 MW, equivalent to the annual energy required to power 3300 homes.”
It was a great opportunity to take some photos for my geographyalltheway_photos Flickr account. You can see the set here. I have also added them to the Geography Teachers Resources Flickr Pool.
