Agree that using waste is a good idea - if it's going to be burnt then makes use of the process.

However, is there really enough waste to act as a replacement for oil? Gotta think not, so perhaps just a small part of the jigsaw.

How much carbon does it take to create a solar panel and how long before the benefits, in terms of carbon reduction, are achieved? A question I have wonder, but yet to research properly.

Someone once told me that creating a new car has a larger carbon foot print than the fuel it will burn its lifetime. Wonder how true that one is?

Sorry for the rambling/moaning/whatever you want to call it! I'm just feeling a little green today - as he sits in an air conditioned office with lots of lights on and a PC chucking out heat!!!

Perhaps we should all just go and live in a cave!!
