Re: How one German village exemplifies the cancer risk from wood burning

Quite possibly peat as well which has always been a terrible fuel as far as health goes, excellent fuel if you haven’t got any money tho which is why it became such an essential fuel for a time.

Re: How one German village exemplifies the cancer risk from wood burning

JohnS I would suggest that putting rural communities on the same level of utilities services to those in towns and cities and at a tariff relative to the cost of the fuel to be phased out world be a first port of call. After that’s in place educating is an easy task as you’re already pushing at an o...

Re: Small things matter

What a fabulous day we have had for solar in NW Wales, I hope everyone else is fairing similarly ? 3.2kWp at one point and the stack has filled from 20% to 100% for the first time this year.

Re: How one German village exemplifies the cancer risk from wood burning

Interesting but I found the statement: "There is clearly an urgent need for better data, and for actions to reduce exposure to wood and coal pollution in rural communities across Europe" to be a bit tunnel visioned - the pollution from coal and wood burners appeared to make the air quality...

I consider the fact that they are willing to come out publicly and embarrass themselves with blatant lies and expressions of self interest as a sign that its starting to hurt their bottom line, looking forward to seeing more of this type of thing as they lose their margins.

Re: Battery powered train sets UK record

sounds like a hybrid system so it should be easy to implement and work quite well, baby steps for a part of the industry that is otherwise infrastructure constrained. If the battery tender feeds motors to help the train to accelerate and take inclines then the diesel drives will be less polluting, I...
