Oil is increasingly expensive, so what feasible alternatives are there? Are wind- and wave-power capable of fulfilling our energy needs? Could we heat our homes by solar energy - or by burning municipal waste? Is there any real possibility of an electric car that would do more than short journeys? Put your questions on substitute fuels to Ian Fells. Professor of Energy Conversion at the University of Newcastle, and Dr Nigel Lucas. Lecturer in Energy Policy, Imperial College, London. Sue Mac Gregor is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

Madrid - Put Money In thy Purse.
In the fourth of six talks about his journey through Spain and Portugal last year, novelist Joseph Hone comes to Madrid in high summer, a ferociously burnt race-track of a city, largely given over to Mammon.
