Decarbonising europe – European Climate found general consensus on one way forward for low carbon, affordable energy?
Dear all, I would like to introduce you to the analysis Dave mentions below and point everyone to the material at www.roadmap2050.eu . Just today more of the underlying material has been added to the site for download. The analysis examined plausible 80%-by-2050 decarbonisation pathways for Europe and then conducted a deep dive […]
How much of UK electricity could come from the burning of combustible wastes from both domestic and industrial sources?
David In March 2005 the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Renewable Power Association (RPA) published a report titled “The Quantification of the Potential Energy from Residuals (EfR) in the UK (Lee P et al. 2005). A briefing on this report was included in Energy Journal 160, (Crudginton A. 2007). The report indicated that […]
Whispered over tea and cake: price for a peer to fix the law (in favour of smart metering). Times January 25, 2009

Tiny Tech Steam Engines for Biomass to power
Dear Friends, Dave Andrews has suggested me to appraise you about my activity of steam engines and steam power plants which, I think, will play very vital role in shaping the economy of many developing countries in future. Just to get the idea of my steam engines, you can watch the following URL on […]
The connection between Dixieland, Weighing the Earth, the First World War and Free Markets
