A world of Kissingeresque realpolitik enacted in boys» games on a frozen lake; of «nightcreeping» through the summer backyards of strangers; of the tabloid -
fueled thrills of the Falklands War and its human toll; of the cruel, luscious Dawn Madden and her power - hungry boyfriend, Ross Wilcox; of a certain Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck, an elderly bohemian emigré who is both
more and less than she appears; of Jason's search to replace his dead grandfather's irreplaceable smashed watch before the crime is discovered; of first cigarettes, first kisses, first Duran Duran Lps, and first deaths; of Margaret Thatcher's recession; of Gypsies camping in the
woods and the hysteria they inspire; and, even closer to home, of a slow - motion divorce in four seasons.
On your turn you take control of your hero or heroes and canter around the landscape, looking for resources to hoover up, mines to take control of which will grant you stone,
wood or other things once a week, artifacts to seize and
more, most of which goes toward
fueling the growth of your capital city, plus any extra ones you've managed to capture along the way.
But in other places, propane or other fossil
fuels, or simply a
more efficient stove for burning
wood, may be the right choice.
After 70 years of fire exclusion, the conifers have moved in to the point that it is hard to see the sequoias but
more critically the new
woods have created a
fuel structure that could threaten the survival of the ancients by carrying fire into their crowns.
Some sources of heat are inexpensive on running cost (solid
fuel,
wood or coal boilers), others work silently (electric, gas / oil boilers) and some are
more environmentally friendly (biomass boilers).
We are blessed with abundant
wood resources that provide
more than 2/3 of all potentially available biomass, including forest residue from timber harvests and forest thinning that improves forest health by reducing
fuel loads on eastside dry land forests.
The poorest — the 1.3 billion in developing countries who depend on
wood and dried dung as primary cooking and heating
fuels, smoke from which kills 4 million and temporarily debilitates hundreds of millions every year — will be condemned to
more generations of poverty and its deadly consequences.
From describing the production of a fiber much
more durable and economic than
wood, the documentary discusses hemps multilateral uses as e.g. food products, as a non-polluting
fuel and as a pharmaceutical product with much less griveous sideeffects than chemical pharmaceutical products.
The strategy aims to create
more sustainable NES platforms through converting existing fossil
fuel steam - heat networks to
wood chips, and creating systems for both new developments and existing buildings.
These advanced technology heating systems enable consumers to use local
wood pellets and cordwood as
fuel in a
more efficient and cleaner way.
These include making renewable energy carriers available on - site by using
more electricity and district heating instead of fossil
fuels for processes, using
more environmentally - friendly materials for lower emissions in production (e.g. recycled steel, and solid
wood), better thinking around transport of surplus masses (soil / rock / gravel), and improved waste management and recycling.
Also, better food handling and behavior is preventing waste, and there are increasingly
more alternatives to using
wood as
fuel.
The majority of the worlds population living in extreme poverty with a lot of the renewables use being
more environment destroying dung burning and deforestation for
wood fuel.
Today, in part because of the Green Belt Movement's own work, we understand much
more completely the linkage between deforestation and energy access, about how a lack of alternatives to
wood fuel for heating or cooking can drive forest destruction and increase communities» vulnerabilities to the effects of global warming and famine.
This first project was in Bangladesh, where traditional open fires were replaced with
more efficient cookstoves, saving the
wood fuel used for cooking ClimateCare worked with Practical Action (formerly ITDG) to extend their work in households and improve cooking methods.
«A national scheme of payments for environmental services would provide incentives for local land users to turn to
more sustainable agriculture, encourage reforestation and help meet the demand for
wood, including
wood fuels,» said Almeida Sitoe, Associate Professor at Universidade Eduardo Mondlane in Mozambique and lead author of the report.
• Ethanol production using
wood biomass required 57 %
more fossil energy than the ethanol
fuel produced.
Since the industrial revolution took hold we not only burned
more CO2 - emitting
fuels, from
wood to coal to oil, but we have also massively reduced the amount of vegetation on the planet.
My conclusion is that the
wood as a heating
fuel is appropriate in areas where it can be sustainably harvested and trucked no
more than 10 to 50 miles.
Oil and natural gas burn much
more cleanly than coal and
wood (orders of magnitude cleaner than solid
fuels).
And neither solar panels nor
more efficient cookstoves are substitutes for
wood fuel, upon which three billion people still depend.
By deriving it from inedible plant matter such as switchgrass,
wood chips, and wheat straw, the hope is that cellulosic ethanol could supplement our transportation
fuels in a way that is
more efficient and has fewer harmful impacts on the environment and food prices than corn - based ethanol.
Industrial Revolution factories and growing human populations burned
more wood and fossil
fuels, baked
more bread, and brewed
more beer, adding still
more CO2 to the atmosphere.
The higher tech systems may produce way less emissions, and work far
more efficiently, than a
wood stove, yet they are reliant on complex, high - tech components and expertise when it comes to both installation and maintenance — not to mention convoluted, vulnerable, and far - from - sustainable supply lines for their
fuel, whether it be natural gas or electricity.
Although there
more quickly renewable sources of biomass for cooking than
wood, a 50 % reduction in
fuel usage compared with other tradtional stoves is something to take seriously.
At a time when 6.59 million households in the UK are considered «
fuel poor» (spending
more than 10 % of household income on heating), paying power companies to burn
wood is a disastrous waste of money.
Just last month, research by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics showed that pneumonia has killed
more Kenyans that malaria in the past year, and that people who use kerosene, animal waste, charcoal and
wood fuel for lighting and cooking — especially in rural Kenya — are
more likely to die from pneumonia [1].
