GreenMonk Energy and Sustainability show 6-April-09

Free Webcam Chat at Ustream

Apologies for the delay in posting this but I copied the chat stream incorrectly and lost it. I contacted @mikethebee, a faithful follower who has saved the chatsteams in the past and fortunately he had a copy!

So here, thanks to Mike, is the chat stream from the show:
