Local energy solution?
I went to the launch of Advanced Plasma Power last night. The company is based in my constituency, with a test site in Faringdon, and has invented a way of burning waste at very high temperatures, producing (from a typical plant) enough gas to power 10,000 homes. As a by-product, it deals with waste more efficiently than in an incinerator, and also produces a safe aggregate.
It sounds almost too good to be true. BUt it is an illustration that there is a lot of green technology out there, being produced by the market. It could gain a real foothold, provided local authorities and the Government are prepared to support it, not with money, but by avoiding tying it up with too much red tape.
