the Danes send the surplus hot water round their towns as a heat source, in England it goes to waste in these beautiful cooling towers.

Danish district heating reduces local air pollution and the fjernvarme specialist work sells electricity as a BY PRODUCT to the net which gíves a wicked thermal efficiency.

Google Groups: View Thread "Heaps of Dung": "I've just come across a 1692 probate inventory which lists (among other
things):

Itm Butter Cheese flesh with other houshould stuf 0-12-0
Itm A dung hill 0-15-4
tot: 35-11-0


I've read a fair number of probate inventories but I can't remember a dung
hill being listed before.

No reason, I suppose, why it shouldn't be. What I'm wondering is whether the
inclusion here indicates that the farmer was selling manure (or any other
by-product from a dung heap?) rather than just being an internal resource on
the farm. Any thoughts?"
