Power your home as the wind blows – It is, of course, untrue to claim that you are carbon-neutral when you still expect coal-fired power stations to step in the moment the wind dies down. Wind turbines generate more than they consume, but storage is not currently CO₂-neutral. If they switched off the servers when…

The idea of using heat from waste water is an obvious one, but it presents a number of challenges. Firstly, it only makes sense to heat the cold domestic water, which requires a thermostat-controlled mixer tap so that you do not have to constantly adjust the mixing ratio as the cold domestic water is heated by the…
