Things To Consider Before Installing Domestic Solar Power
Radiation from the Sun, which we and most living things here on Earth perceive as light and warmth, sustains and powers everything, whether directly or indirectly.
We are certainly capable of surviving for a short while in the absence of sunlight, thanks of course to our technology, but it is not exactly a sustainable proposition. Sure we can even grow food in the most hostile of conditions using grow lights to mimic sunlight and enable photosynthesis in plants; but what powers those? You guessed it - oil or some other fossil fuel that itself was laid down ... The Pros and Cons of Installing A Wood Burning Stove
Thirdly, we are all becoming much more environmentally aware these days; every amateur gardener knows that the climate is already changing and every gas or electric bill is a reminder that the way things have been up till now is no longer sustainable for the future. Which is where wood burning comes in; because although you are indeed releasing carbon into the atmosphere when you burn logs or wood pellets, this forms part of a more or less balanced carbon cycle.
The ... 
Wood Burners Past And Present
It is what can be described as a balanced carbon process, because the carbon released in a wood burning stove is the exact same carbon that the original tree absorbed from the atmosphere.
By sourcing fuel from a renewable and endlessly sustainable resource, in other words by replacing each tree used for fuel with a new tree, the precise amount of CO2 released by your wood burner will be taken from the air and locked up again inside that new tree as it grows. The amount of carbon released into the atmosphere exactly matches that absorbed from the atmosphere in ... Alternatives to Oil
36% on the average electricity bill and encourage more people to enjoy their own all-too-brief lives instead of vegetating on the mundane trivia of made-up vacuous non-entities).
But although there are minor developments along these lines, with some small communities seriously trying it out, again we have a scalability problem.
Many so-called "sustainable" methods are only sustainable for very small populations.
If all 60,000,000 inhabitants of the UK installed log burners, took to self-sufficient food production and crapped in a ditch it would take less than a week to totally ...
