In a compromise that calls for the left and right to work together, energy company executives today proposed burning both fossil fuels and environmental activists, who officials estimated may be able to provide 2 percent of the country's energy output "for a couple of hours, anyway."

IIRC there was a Dilbert comic strip to this effect a while back. 've always said it would solve California's energy crisis - they do seem to have an inexhaustible supply of loony enonuts

It's actually very difficult to build a self-sustaining furnace that will burn people due to their high water content. For example, crematoria use a great deal of support fuel.

The self-sustaining crematorium was perfected by Krupps during the 1940s but for some funny reason they don't talk about it these days.

They'll go up like a shot with the amount of meths inside them. A liberal dowsing on the outside wouldn't go amiss either.

Matters but little old buddy. Krupps have the technology, let's do it.

Not all environmentalists are extreme, I like to recycle household waste, I like to use energy efficient heating etc, I keep her indoors lagged in three inch fibre glass and generally avoid causing polution. I also like to recycle old supercars and to thrash them in order to extract the maximum from the scarce resources used to build them. I like to preserve stocks of rare metals by taking the cats off Yank tanks and using extreme revs to burn off harmful carbon deposits in the exhaust system. I like to release trapped energy by running on open pipes and so on.

I suppose I'm a sort of British Racing Green.

Is that why you have a Krups equipped kitchen Steve? Have bought shares in them and if so can you get a discount on the kit? How much does it cost and can we set one up on Greenham common?
