To be zero carbon, or not to be...

That is the question? I don't want to bore you with the gas main and zero carbon thing I blogged about last thursday - however, I found this tasty snip:

Tony Baldry: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what percentage of housing in eco-towns is planned to be zero-carbon. [203461]

Caroline Flint: As we have set out in the consultation document, “Eco-towns—Living a greener future”, the development as a whole, not just housing, should reach zero carbon standards.

Have you noticed onthe developers website they are still claiming that they will be contributing energy to the national grid, even though they've dropped that ridiculous claim from their newspaper adverts?

I heard the developers are now looking into ways of collecting all the flood water, bottling it up and selling it as Ford Eco Water!

That reminds me of Baldrick! But I recall he was bottling more than rainwater! Perhaps they're economising on the sewers too :;)
