Financial incentives for a transition to a low-carbon economy. (forestry – bio farming transition) 
Climate policy (more forests? less peat burning)

Energy.(solar – anaerobic – uses of wastes) Renewable business. Decarbonisation pathways? 

Micro-grid: solar – hydro – wind- how can micro-energy producers get paid for their production.    

In the second part of the show team chat with Tony O’ Connel, Author of ATLANTIPEDIA.

ATLANTIS- DID THE FABLED CONTINENT REALLY EXIST?
Tony O’Connell argues that Atlantis was a real place, and he supports the Mediterranean hypothesis.
He does not support the Minoan Hypothesis (Thera), but can show that Atlantis was in the Central Mediterranean region.

In his website, “Atlantipedia” Tony also mentions the research of Afro-centrist Clyde Winters, an African American writer who claims the Olmec statues are a representation of African people.

Tony also claims the Chinese settled in the Americas (Pre-Columbian era). Some Chinese legends support this hypothesis, for more info click here.
