Never let it be said that England is shit at innovation.

@hesgen "It concluded that Firefly's fuel has a 90% lower carbon footprint than standard jet fuel." Well except you fucking burn it.

When will ppl realize that the laws of phsics which are heating up the planet don't give a shit whether the CO2 we emit into the atmosphere came from a fossil fuel or an identical hydrocarbon from a non-fossil source.

@twobiscuits @hesgen A poem: If there were only differentials of two, would there be more than me and you?

@hesgen interesting. I once spent a while chatting to some researchers at the University of York about extracting energy from sewage. They were developing a rig that could operate at the scale of a UK sewage works to at least power the operations of the plant. A big focus was creating value from the sewage so less of it was dumped into rivers. The huge amounts of fats that end up in the sewage system were a particularly target. To be honest I think they were just pleased to meet anyone who was prepared to chat while not gagging on the stink.

@hesgen So your saying Ryanair could be come totally self sufficient purely based on their CEO's comments....

@hesgen They'll need more than one onboard cludgie to supply long haul flights.
