Fuel

I've had a few discussions recently about the viability of "alternative" power supplies. I know that a few years ago it simply wasn't viable and while the following article seems to indicate that it is still the case (actually I believe it was always going to be unless there was some fundamental technological breakthrough). That said it really doesn't cite many references so it's a little hard to get real data on the state of alternative power. Has anyone got any decent links / info?

  1. Hiya Ben, we'll be going solar next year.

    Have a look at http://www.cix.co.uk/~dmccarthy/

    if you want to see the practical side of running a home on alternative power.

    Also, the Beeb had a show "It's Not Easy Being Green" which went through the process from start to finish on building a house in Cornwall which included converting their car to biofuel.

    Cheers,
    Alex.

    The Beeb also had a show called "It's Not Easy Being Green" which covered the whole process of building a house including converting the family car to biofuel.
