Ok, I moved the Energy and Sustainability away from Ustream a couple of weeks back to try out LiveStream as I had had a couple of complaints about the quality. Today I tried out a new microphone and judging by the comments it seems to have been a good idea!

Here is the chatstream from today’s GreenMonk Energy & Sustainability show:
