British weird weather - Global Warming?

I'm afraid we left the bronze age behind some time ago

What, you guys turned back to the claystone check valves ?

Methane will never catch on.
There are no huge corporations with dozens of political lobbyists and mega million advertising campaigns to push it through.
The other energy sources which do have these things will kill it.

We currently have an electricity crunch in Ontario. The Provincial government is talking about building more Nuclear plants to fill the gap.
We have 3 coal fired generating plants which were closed as part of a political promise after the last election. Anytime someone suggests they be converted to Natural gas or to "clean" coal, the Greenies shout them down even though the above conversions would cost a fraction of a reactor and would be ecologically sound.

Chickens

That's the answer to going green

Okay

1) Chicken on treadmill generates electricity
2) Chicken manure into methane digester. another energy source
3) Chickens lay eggs another energy source
4) Chicken doesn't lay eggs... eat chicken... another energy source

Okay so you have to feed them a bit but that cannot be abad thing based on the energy return

Scale it up a bit and problem solved. need a bit of tidying up okay but what do we have scientists and the like for... give them something constructive to do

just convert to a dual-purpose sh*te conveyor/treadmill...

 

[statsman]

We already get enough chicket sh*te coming from the government.
Maybe we can convert to politician burning electrical generating plants.
I just have to come up with a way to make them burn "clean".

Aint we all carbon based life forms??

Maybe thats why the earth is trying to wipe us out!

On the Friday that the floods started I spent some time with people who had been flooded out in Evesham, with a 4 star hotel booked less than 30 miles away we spent the night on the floor of the leisure centre having got into Evesham but unable to get out.

The young volunteers looking after us providing food and drinks were fantastic, even though they had been there without sleep for over 14 hours when we were able to make a dash for home at 8 on the Saturday morning.

Actually Barry when we got home we realised we had no address for the centre and no names other than Frances, I tried to find it on the Net to send our thanks and failed, time passed and well maybe its a little late now but if you can recommend a name and address I would still send an Email or letter of thanks, they were really great.
