		<title>morrisons profits; high-speed rail proposal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<h2> New rail network from North to South of UK </h2>

On this morning's news plans for a new high-speed rail network will be announced by the government. If their strategy is to entice car drivers onto the <a href="http://www.pjf.org.uk/blog/2009/07/rail-reform-joanna-in-nepal-fertility-donations-taliban-talks-diabetes-and-habits/">railway</a> that would be good news, but the Conservatives, who turned down an invitation to see the plans ahead of today's announcement, are keen for the route to go directly to Heathrow airport in west London.

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>Photovoltaic cells</h2>
Photovoltaic cells, that generate electricity from electromagnetic waves (typically sunlight), were initially so expensive to produce that they only appeared in tiny devices such as pocket calculators or high-tech applications like satellites and space exploration. With improved design, technology and sales volume it is now feasible to use them in your own home or business, and government grants are available to help encourage the pioneers!

<h2>Andrew Winton acoustic guitar solo</h2>

"The first thing you should know about Andrew Winton is that he's a seriously good guitarist... In company with some of Australia's finest singer-songwriters, most notably Jeff Lang, Winton uses a blues base for many of his creations, slipping into jazz grooves, even gospel mode, here and there." - Rhythms Magazine

Award winning musician Andrew is an independent solo artist based in Perth, Western Australia.
He combines acoustic guitar, lap slide, dobro and seven-string lap guitar/bass (the Wintonbeast), with hollers and stomps to provide an engaging and authentic performance. He plays original music with blues, roots, folk, gospel &#38; jazz influences. Andrew's sound has been likened to a cross between Ben Harper, Sting, Kelly-Joe Phelps and Harry Manx. His performances are driven by infectious rhythms, stunning slide, bluesy vocals, quirky lyrics and storytelling.

		<title>Nissan back electric car future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The future of electric cars (zero emissions) is central to the plans of Nissan-Renault, according to their boss,  Carlos Ghosn.

Many claim that the current limit of approx 160km range, then a 20 minute charge-up time will deter most buyers. But public demand for cleaner lifestyles and environmental awareness are improving faster than expected.

But Mr Ghosn says that "80% of the people on earth, driving a car, drive less than 100km a day".

Plans were recently announced in the UK to generate 20% of all electricity from wind turbines placed in the shallows of the North Sea and west of Lundy. It may be electioneering, but it gives interested voters a stick with which to beat backsliding MPs in the future :)
