USING NEW technologies to reduce commuting times makes sense. And Minister for Energy Eamon Ryan is to be commended for promoting the development of such a scheme within his department. But such a futuristic idea has limited application in present circumstances and should not become a barrier to the consideration of more direct measures, such as charging civil servants for city centre parking.

I, WRITES GARRISON KEILLOR, was at a playground with my daughter the other day, reading The Two Kinds of Decay by Sarah Manguso (good book) and watching my girl as she stood at the perimeter of children playing and studied them, exactly as I did when I was a kid, working up the nerve to plunge into the fray.

Liberal Democrats plan green firms' rebate

Speaking at a joint press event with Greenpeace Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg said that companies that "green" their premises with energy-saving improvements should be offered a rebate or reduced bill. He said that he could see the "green" business rate working in the same way as some councils give rebates to families who insulate their homes. "We have to make things easier for companies that want to do the right thing," Said Mr Clegg. "The challenge of meeting Britain's energy needs was a choice between old technologies like gas, nuclear and coal, and "a green future" based on clean technologies."
