I thought it might be worthwhile to establish what ideas we have, and what common ground.
If anyone has any thoughts on what we can do, who to contact etc, please post here.

Meanwhile, perhaps folk can indicate what they see as the right options.
To get the ball rolling:

1.Is the new renewables bill for England realistic?
How much will it help? Is it financible?
Here are the links to the documents:
http://www.berr.gov.uk/energy/sources/renewables/strategy/page43356.html
UK Renewable Energy Strategy Consultation - BERR
I have downloads them, and altered the pdf names to their original titles, so if anyone wants them in this form please contact me and I will download them to dropload.

2.What about the nuclear option?
I can't see any way of powering Britain without it, but if others disagree perhaps they could briefly indicate their alternative, whether vastly reducing population, or that conservation would do the job on it's own.
This paper seems to set out the difficulties in not using nuclear as a source well:

Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air (withouthotair.com)

The intention here is not so much to have further debate, but to see how much ground is in common, and perhaps to arrive at a group position so that any efforts we make in relation to the group may be coherent.
Although personally convinced that the only realistic alternative is nuclear, for the purposes of this as an advocacy group I would be prepared if necessary to go along with a contrary group position, providing that it is at least coherent.
This has now gone far beyond theory, and into the imperative for political action, and for that it seems to me that common positions must be found and compromises made.
Or perhaps others don't feel this?

3.How bad will any depression be in the UK?
How can the budget deficit/balance of payments deficit be paid for?

4.How do we feed ourselves?
