Month of March, 2009

On Monday (16th March) Richard Hammerton went to Market Drayton to deliver a staff training session - one of the distinguishing features of the session was that it was certainly the earliest one he has ever done, beginning at 7am and ending at 8.30!

The purpose of the training session was to provide accessible energy advice to the staff of the Swimming Centre, and also staff from other leisure facilities in North Shropshire, with a focus on behavioural changes and actions which are free or low cost.
 

We're very excited to announce that we have been commissioned to develop member and officer training for Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. We will be working with them to develop a set of tools and training that they can deliver in the future.

We will also be taking the Light Fantastic out there for ten events over the summer, including a staff training event.

We'll keep you posted!

Tesla is now producing approximately 20 cars per week, which will increase to 30 per week this summer. About 1,000 people are waiting to take ownership of their Roadster, which means Tesla is sold out through October of this year. The Roadster remains the only highway-capable production electric vehicle of any kind (not just in the sports car category) for sale in the US or Europe. It does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds yet is twice as energy efficient as a Toyota Prius.
