Letter: Renewable energy for the Dome
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I would have thought a better proposition than to clad the Millennium Dome with PVC (Letters, 4 August) would be to use a combination of aluminium and photo-voltaic cells. The former is fully recyclable and the latter fully reusable: important considerations for a structure which is likely to have a short lifetime.
The use of photo-voltaic cells in a substantial way would also enable the exhibition to have a display about renewable energy, which ought to be high on the list of priorities, given the rapidly growing importance of developing a sustainable society.
