How Green Will the Stadium Be?

[I 8 COLU]

Solar panels
Life expectancy is around 20 years, depending on the type. All parts are made for use in extreme marine conditions; salt water and storms do not affect solar panels. but they do need to be renewed.

So where do you think all the building materials come from then? and don't put words into my mouth, I never even mentioned water or hose pipe ban's!

And who's the sucker?.... You by the sounds of it!!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. And I never mentioned climate change, but that didn't stop you did it?

Oh dear, I'll try to make this simple for you.

I wasn't putting words into your mouth, I was using the hosepipe ban to demonstrate that there is a shortage of water at some points during the summer. Now, forgive me if I'm wrong here, but surely the idea of a "green" stadium is to make use of natural, sustainable resources without causing any damage to the environment, especially where there is a shortage of the usual supply. If I'm right then surely using rainwater constitutes a "green" solution (living in Wales I'm well aware just how renewable and sustainable rain can be!). Therefore the mention of hosepipe bans is fully justified within the context of the debate over an ecologically sound stadium, whether you mentioned it or not.

Building materials? Not sure where you're coming from there, but I doubt that a stadium could be built out of mud bricks. What most of us seemed to be talking about, however, was the environmentally friendly running of the ground (yes, some mention was made over the set up costs, but on a purely fiscal basis rather than anything else)

I hope that's cleared things up for you, if not I'll try to explain with pictures.

Yours patronisingly,

ps, ever considered changing user names to Dyson?
