Boilers start at around 8kw and can be inside living rooms as well as in utility rooms. Please contact me if you want details.<br /><br />Biomass - ie wood - when growing absorbs carbon - encouraging more trees to be grown commercially (on land unsuitable for crops) is a good thing.<br /><br />Energy2burn.co.uk reclaim wood from recycling Roger Crofthttp://www.wxinstall.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-77582761014936392812010-04-11T22:13:35.689+01:002010-04-11T22:13:35.689+01:00Hello,

I might try a new idea: renewable technology saves x% CO2 emmissions (compared to modern gas boiler) and costs £Y. Grant for X% x £Y available.<br /><br />Any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-17928755654334625942010-03-10T22:20:26.790+00:002010-03-10T22:20:26.790+00:00I really don't want to support the RHI and I a...I really don't want to support the RHI and I am certainly not asking for subsidies for biomass, I just wanted to point out that it tries to do what it says on the tin.<br /><br />I gather that you both think it is an answer to the wrong question, and you could well be correct. The problem is that there is no obvious consensus about what, specifically, needs to be done, or by whom, or with buildingstoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547733565964401449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-43689067575893326792010-03-10T08:21:56.450+00:002010-03-10T08:21:56.450+00:00Stoat,

It's just that it doesn't necessarily make it right to encourage it to be grown just to burned. <br /><br />We have already seen theMark Brinkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473684038478246288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-46595858176897255322010-03-10T07:28:07.747+00:002010-03-10T07:28:07.747+00:00Great post.

Working on an article on this so don't want to give away the punchline.

Someone high up probably decided to DO something about this 'renewable energy thingie' before engaging their brains or even getting a clear idea of what they intended to happen and this is what the poor sods from the ministry came up with.<br /><br />The clue is in thebuildingstoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547733565964401449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-63554002703805213632010-03-08T15:07:05.008+00:002010-03-08T15:07:05.008+00:00carbon tax = will always hurt the poor more than a...carbon tax = will always hurt the poor more than anyone else.<br /><br />We should be trying to aleviate fuel poverty, not increase it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
