  • E-tolling: A brilliant letter on why NOT to get tagged

    I am no fan of the E-tolling system that the government is trying to force Joburger’s to accept. It’s simply ridiculous, we have already paid for these roads, over and over. If the government had not wasted so much money buying arms we do not need, this would not even be a discussion! Anyway, someone…

  • AARTO camera speeding fines illegal

    I am not a lawyer but I have worked out that AARTO camera speeding fines are completely illegal. I decided to ask some questions some time ago.

  • A working green model village produces 321% extra energy

    There’s nothing quite like an excellent example. The village of Wildpoldsried, in Germany, is just that; a great eco-example that all communities should be looking into. This village produces 321% EXTRA energy and makes money by selling it back to the national grid.

    I have come across some good ideas and some great ideas. The Venus Project is in the latter category.
