Coal? how mundane. Sothebys' evening sale tonight just took £116m and it only had 77 paintings. Including £400k for a dull Klimt pencil sketch that I wouldn't even hang in the bog.Comment

Yes but that little lot is not going to keep the fires burning for very long is it. You cannot substitute burning expensive art as a means of producing powerRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

I was chatting to an old geezer engineer chappie t'other day about power generation - he reckoned coal was viable as long as it wasn't dug out (as in by miners) in the traditional way.
He reckoned the best way was to leave the stuff in the ground and use super heated steam to turn it into coke & then dig it out.
Also while pondering cladding my house in photovoltaic cells I found that they now have cells that use sunlight to split water molecules into Hydrogen - only seems to be 10% efficient at the moment but if you can use sunlight to produce Hydrogen then collecting & using for car power & electric generation would appear to be a step away!
