Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome
Everything in Sci-fi movies are true!
When they digitally re-master Thunderdome for HD/3D release,
they should photoshop a Centrica badge onto Master's boiler suit.
Blaster is actually a plumber's mate working on his Gas Safe accreditation, before the holocaust.
Now we know where the Thunderdome will be located in the future.
Pre-quel!
Tina Turner found an abandoned bio-mass gas facility, where Master/Blaster are living. She starts building Barter Town, using human and animal waste to keep the works running. Bandits come sniffing around, she makes a deal with them. In exchange for protection, they get an engine conversion to run on LPG or petrol. Dual fuel. That explains how they can keep their mobile army on the road. In a climactic battle, Tina Turner becomes leader of the gang.
Halle Berry plays the younger Tina Turner.
The real Tina can do the sound track.0 -

and those are just the ones i can recall of the top of my head, NG is working very hard at finding and bringing online renewal sources of both natural gas and powering the electricity network both here and in the USAI am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.0 -
This SUCH old technology!
Every landfill site in the UK draws gas off the rubbish and burns it off, ive seen some 20ft high flames burning for 10 years
In WW2 (and dads army) gas bags were fitted above cars to hold gas to run them off methane0 -
One day, a farmer will realise the income from animal burps.
Maybe some kind of fart gas exchange mechanism in the cattle shed

It's going to be great if they ever figure out how to fit you an import/export meter.
Then in the words of the French in Monty Python's The Holy Grail "I fart in your general direction".
Would the FIT payment become a FART? :rotfl:
Besides, I've got a better plan. We need a scientist who figures out how to power the grid based on hot air. Then we should be able to remove all other power overnight and power it off the BS energy companies & Ofgem spout! Some sort of BS hotair capture device fitted in every meeting room. Also, should a sales agent come knocking...plug him into something that powers back to the grid.:rotfl: It's better to live 1 year as a tiger than a lifetime as a worm...but then, whoever heard of a wormskin rug!!!:rotfl:0 -
