    Sad to see you go buddy, take it easy.

    NVM - a mixture of non-renewable (coal) & renewable (wind), nuclear and gas-to-energy (landfill)

    Coal, Gas (As in from North Sea), Nuclear,Renewable... Mainly in that order I do believe.

    The landfill option is fairly rare..
    Mind when I'm at home in Devon, theres a fair few renewable options about..Wind power (mainly Cornwall), tidal power (huge underwater turbine off the coast of Lynmouth), farmyard waste (burning cow sh*t to produce heat for the water..smell around the place is a bit iffy ), renewable burning (fast growing wood etc) and geothermal. Not bad for a little county

    You'll be surprised how many Gas-to-Energy sites there are in the UK. All of the major landfill operators have a number of G2E sites, including Viridor, Sita, Biffa, Onyx, Cleanaway and Summerleaze. Cleanaway are slowly filling the thames estuary (sp) with rubbish, which will become one of Europe's largest G2E sites.

    Can you tell I used to work for a company that manufactures Landfill Gas Analysers? :P

    Evil Dragon I myself will miss your energetic motivation in your projects and wonder how we will handle the fort while your gone. You will be missed my friend. This hurts inside, coming from you, one of our strongest and devoted crunchers, you will be deeply missed. Stop in once awhile and say howdy.





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.
